History:-     

           According to history firstly this village was known as chitti & chitti was land lady from a Gujjar clan however about 400 years ago sheikh badar ud din suleman Chishti the grandson of HAZRAT BABA FAREED GANJ SHAKAR came from CHISHTIAN to Sialkot for hunting. At that time Sialkot was a gateway to Kashmir valley & due to proximate with Kashmir it was a fertile area.
According to PEER Ajaml Chishti  [1]& MAULANA Muhammad Ali Asgar : -

                                Sheikh Badar Ud Din Suleman Chishti stayed for few years in CHITTI and He married here and his descendants SHEIKH Abdul Fattah & SHEIKH Salaahe Muhammad settle in CHITTI. After this SHEIKH Abdul Fattah became the Ruler of Village due to the said link of BABA FAREED GANJ SHAKAR with this the name of the village CHITTI was converted into CHITTI SHEIKHAN & The word Sheikhan is commonly used by ARABS as a matter of pride and santity. According to Sialkot district gazetteer published in the year 1920 during the British raj the author of the gazetteer which is an authentic document while discussing different Casts & clans in Sialkot observed as under “QURESHIS” are of Arab descent and belong to the same TRIBE as The PROPHET (PBUH).
