SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA.

Dear sow nappinai,
I have heard someone telling that 'iyaru karu' (karu
stands for mariyadai, like sir)bacame iyengar.
the term iyer had been in vogue for sometime. And with
the mix of Telugu and tamil speaking population in
Greater Madras thoses days, the srivaishanavites,
whose tradition many Telugus followed, were started to
be called with a reverential suffix 'karu' and thus
the term iyengar came into place.
I don't know whether any other explanation is there.

regards,
jayasree.s.
