I think the real question is does such a thing as Hajaray really exist, i.e., a cross between Musa sikkimensis and Musa hybrid "Rajapuri"? No banana named Hajaray (or close variants of that name) showed up in the MGIS banana database when I did a quick search. Seems a fairly unlikely (but not impossible) cross to make. Yours certainly does not show parentage of either of those bananas.

Namwah is certainly among the most cold-hardy "edible" bananas. Maybe somewhere in the world it is called "Hajaray" and the rest about its derivation is (incorrect) speculation.
