These tribes migrated to their present-day location from around Ghazni (Zabulistan region) in modern-day Afghanistan by crossing the Gomal Pass throughout different times in history.

The Lodhi are categorised as an Other Backward Class but claim Rajput ties and prefer to be known as "Lodhi-Rajput", although they have no account of their Rajput origin or prevailing Rajput traditions. Etymology Robert Vane Russell, an administrator of the British Raj, described several possible etymologies for ''Lodhi'', including derivation from ''lod'' ("clod"), or ''lodh'', a tree whose bark the Lodhi of Northern India gather to make dye. Russell also stated that ''Lodha'' was the original term, later corrupted to ''Lodhi'' in the Central Provinces. Another theory derives the name from the district of Ludhiana, supposing it the Lodhi homeland.

Lodhi (Lodi, Lohi, Lozi) is a Munda language, or dialect cluster, of India. Kharia Thar is only spoken by one quarter of ethnic Lodhi in Orissa. However, while admitting that Lodhi is related to Sora, a Munda language, ''Ethnologue'' classifies it as Indic ( Bengali–Assamese), and it is considered a variety of Hindi in the Indian census. It may be that there are both Munda and Indic varieties subsumed under the name Lodhi.
