Nambiar (Nair subcaste)

 Nambiār, also known as Nambiyār, is a sub-group of the Indian Nair caste. Many were jenmi landlords in the Malabar region.

In earlier days, Nambiar women, like most women of Nair clans of North Malabar (present-day Kannur, Kasaragod, Wayanad districts) would not marry Nair men of South Malabar (present-day Kozhikode, Malappuram, Palakkad, Thrissur districts).
