All,
The "Jamdhar" is a loose distortion of "Yamadaushtra" and evolved in the following way:
1. Yama (Lord of death per the Hindus) + Daushtra (tooth in Sanskrit)
which became - Yama + Dadh or "Jamdhad"
which is now "Jamdhar"
It is also used synonymous to Katars in some places in India.
my two cents...!!!!
