Among the Brahmins in the South, there are Asta Sahasram, (Eight Thousand families), Vadama(those who lived on the north bank of River Kaveri), Vaathima, who speialised in Purohitham. In the North we have many communities of Brahmins on similar lines. The Chaurasia Community is one which is based on the number of families belonging to this clan. They are reported to be 84,000 in number. CHAURASIA word originated from ancient INDIAN Vedas which basically refers a Brahmin community in INDIA, CHAURASIA word inherits from a vedic word 'chaturashiitah' which refers eighty four in sansakrita. Since ancient INDIA, according to the Hindu mythology it is believed there are eighty four thousands Yonis(breeds, Types) of Gods existing in this universe. Every species which exist on Earth belong to a particular Yoni. At later stage and for easy pronunciation it transformed as 'Chaurasia' (A Hindi equivalent also refers eighty four).
