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. Members of the Maravar community often use the honorific title Thevar.

The Sethupathi rulers of the erstwhile Ramnad kingdom hailed from this community.

Etymology

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