Dungar is a village on a mountain/Hillside in the State of Gujrat, West India - some 20 Km from Rajula - from where our ancestors come from.

In the Bohra Gujrati tradition, a person coming from a village attaches the name of the village together with the letters "walla" meaning coming from.

Therefore your name is attached to this particular Village in India.

I hope that answers your question.
