The Nambiar (also written as Nambyar) is a Hindu Ambalavasi caste of Kerala. Nambiar ladies are called Nangyar. Ambalavasi Nambiars wear sacred thread like Brahmins and is traditionally considered as a higher caste to Nairs[1] including same name bearing Nair-Nambiar caste which usually leads to confusion.
