'''Jam Sahib''' ({{langx|gu|જામ સાહેબ}}) or simply '''Jam''' was a native title used by the rulers of a few [[princely states]], notably born in western [[British India]] into [[Jadeja]] clan which denotes their claimed descent from the legendary [[Jamshid|Jamshed]] of Iran.<ref>{{cite book|first=Mario |last=Rodrigues |title=Batting for the Empire: A Political Biography of Ranjitsinhji |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=d0puAAAAMAAJ |year=2003 |publisher=Penguin Books, 2003 |isbn=9780143029519 |page=51 |quote=Yet another version said the Jadejas were descendants of the great Emperor Jamshed of Iran, hence the title Jam under which they ruled.}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|first=B.
