Variyar (also written as Variar, Varyar, Warriar or Warrier) is a Hindu Ambalavasi caste in Kerala , India.
Etymology [ edit ]
The term Variyar has its origin in the Malayalam word 'Variyam' (Malayalam : വാരിയം /വാര്യം), which refers to a committee or a board. Variyam refers to an office of supervision. Thus variyar is a supervising officer or a member of a supervisory board or committee. The word is commonly used in the plural form as Variar (Varian + -ar) to denote respect. The feminine equivalent of Variar is Varassyar . It is a combination of Variyassi/Variaththi and the plural suffix -ar .
