Pali-English dictionary
Source: BuddhaSasana: Concise Pali-English Dictionarygotta : (nt.) clan; ancestry.
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryGotta, (nt.) (Vedic gotra, to go) ancestry, lineage. There is no word in English for gotta. It includes all those descended, or supposed to be descended, from a common ancestor. A gotta name is always distinguished from the personal name, the name drawn from place of origin or residence, or from occupation, and lastly from the nick-name. It probably means agnate rather than cognate. About a score of gotta names are known. They are all assigned to the Buddha’s time. See also Rh. D.
