many had.for eg.-,VELLALA caste..AFAIK only Iyers and that class people have some NI origin .I dont think like that about rest of them.
I wrote an exam of TNPSC .I cant fill my surname Nair in the application.A Tamilian told me that they dont like that.
Vellalars (also, Velalars , Vellalas ) were, originally an elite caste of Tamil agricultural landlords in Tamil Nadu, Kerala states in India and in neighbouring Sri Lanka; they were the aristocracy of the ancient Tamil order ( Chera/ Chola/ Pandya/Sangam era) and had close
relations with the different royal dynasties.
Literary, archeological sources trace the origin of the Vellalars to a group of royal house chieftains called Vel or Velir. According to old Hindu, Tamil texts, the Velirs were warriors
from the Yadu Kshatriya clan ( Chandravanshi lineage); they came to south from the city of Dvārakā in north India under the leadership of
the Vedic sage Agastya. They have been described as Upper Shudras or Sat-shudras in the Brahmanical Varna system.......
