Not that I have seen. However there are 3 Awans. So that’s a possible I guess.

“Awan” is a huge name in Pakiville and carries a lot of weight with ties all the way back to the big MO himself.
the awans are rock stars in Pakiville just common criminals over here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awan_(tribe)

A certificate issued in 1905 by the Deputy Commissioner of Shahpur, C.H. Atkins, to Khan Sahib Qazi Zafar Hussain, the youngest son of Qazi Mian Muhammad Amjad. This document also demonstrates the influence wielded by the Awan tribe in the Punjab, during the era of the British Raj.

People of the Awan community have a strong presence in the Pakistani Army[1][need quotation to verify] and have a strong martial tradition.[2] Christophe Jaffrelot says:

The Awan deserve close attention, because of their historical importance and, above all, because they settled in the west, right up to the edge of Baluchi and Pashtun territory. [Tribal] Legend has it that their origins go back to Imam Ali and his second wife, Hanafiya. Historians describe them as valiant warriors and farmers who imposed their supremacy on their close kin the Janjuas in part of the Salt Range, and established large colonies all along the Indus to Sind, and a densely populated centre not far from Lahore.[3]

Whereas Ahmad Hasan Dani claimed that the Awans were, in fact, indigenous to Northern Punjab, and might well be the ancient Abanii mentioned by Greek and Roman travelers and historians.[4]

On a rural level, Awans historically were of the zamindar or landowning class[5] and many Awan families to this day live on and cultivate land, which their ancestors have held for centuries. They often carry titles typical to Punjabis[6] who own tracts of ancestral land.
................
Tribal living in much of Africa some of Europe and Asia is still a big deal far more than here.
