Thiyar ( Sanskrit:Divper ) or ( English:Tiyar , Portuguese:Tiveri ) is a caste inhabiting the old Malabar region of Kerala. They are mainly found in North Malabar, they also exhibit cultural similarities with Ezhavas seen in South Malabar, Cochin, and Travancore, but different from Thiyyas.[1] They share ancestry from ancient migrants of North India. [2] They also practices marumakkathayam which is a system of matrilineal inheritance as opposed to makkathayam that is also practised by other communities in Kerala. There was also a Thiyya dynasty that ruled in Malabar called the "Mannanar dynasty".[3] Certain sections of the Thiyya community rose to become renowned warriors in Northern Malabar and were honored with the title of Chekavar. [4][5] Many of these famous Chekava warriors are remembered in folk songs called the Vadakkan Pattukal.
