Maravar






Kizhavan Sethupathi


Maravar (also known as Maravan and Marava) are a Tamil community in the state of Tamil Nadu. These people are one of the three branches of the Mukkulathor confederacy.[1] Members of the Maravar community often use the honorific title Thevar.[2][3][4]


The Sethupathi rulers of the erstwhile Ramnad kingdom hailed from this community.[5]. The Maravar community, along with the Kallars, had a reputation for thieving and robbery from as early as the medieval period.[6][7][8][9][10]


Etymology


The term Maravar has diverse proposed etymologies;[11] it may come simply from a Tamil word maravar (warrior),[12] or a term meaning "bravery".[13]
