Ghorse or Gorsi is derived after the word Ghursawar literally meaning a horse rider.
Since around 2nd century BC there was a tradition famous (or saying) in Punjab (Pak)
" Dhai ghara Gujran ke ek chechi, ek Gorsi te adha Barkat." That means in that area (where Gujjars were concentrated densely) there were only two gotras among Gurjars: Chechi and gorsi, while Barkat being born from an outcast woman was considered half gotra.
BTW, If we go by all researches and traditions known till date, We Gujjars have these gotras as top 5:
No.1 Chechi or chainchi or Naikade
No.2 Gorsi or Godarope or Ghuraiya
No.3 Kasana or Kushana
No.4 Khatana
No.5 Nagde or Nagar or Nangdi
Then comes Mavais, Parmars, Tomars, Chauhans, Lohmors etc etc
I dont want to initiate any kind of arguement over the gotra supremacy but these gotra have a historical importance and have been considered high, till today, by people having knowledge of Gujjars gotras.
But we can start a debate over :
"Which is the largest Gurjar Gotra?"

I also heard from elders like of mine which happenened to be poswal
Awwal got Gorsidoom Chauhan
and aadhi kasana ( due to half blood) different mother.
But I also heard about your gotra is that,:
Gorsi clan was the 1st Real Royal blood when arians came to sub continent.
Gorsies ruled known subcontinent 400 hundred years. They were defeated by
muslim invaders but never bow down. Due to Sufia karam invitations they accepted Islam.
But again, it is very common in our area that
Gorsi is The Real Royal Blood and Awwal Gotra.
They are great warriors, tall, tough and always leaders of their
of their communities and always big time landlords.
