The village's old name was Jaura Mandi, but due to the dominance of the Sian caste in the area it has become known as Jaura Sian. Sians are descendants of Raja Sian Singh, who converted to Islam at the partition of the subcontinent, and stayed in the village for the rest of his life.
Population
The village population is about 5,000–7,000 according to the census of 1998.
