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. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
