Despite the community adopting a multitude of languages, "Banjara" is used throughout India, although in Karnataka the name is altered to "Banijagaru". A survey conducted in 1968 by the All India Banjara Seva Sangh, a caste association, recorded 27 synonyms and 17 sub-groups. Recorded groups include Charan, Dharia, Labana, Mathuria, Kolhati, Mukeri, Kainjar, Multani and Sugali. Synonyms include "Lamani", "Lambada" and "Labhan", all three of which are derived from the Sanskrit word "lavana" (salt), which was a principal product that they transported across the country.
