Makin caste.

Makin caste is found mainly in Himachal Pradesh and the northern parts of India. They are basically Brahmins. Some researchers say that they are descendants of Rishi Markandeya, who was the creator of the markandeya puran. Their surname Makin is an aberration of Markandeya in the pahadi language.

Some researchers also claim that they are from descendants of Vasishth or Bharadwaj.

But as the name Makin looks similar to Markandey in Pahadi, which is called Makrin, so we can say Makin's are descendants of Rishi Markandeya, and they are Brahmins.
