Embranthiri

Embranthiri or embrathiri is a Brahmin caste in Kerala of Tulu origin.

Embranthiris are Brahmins migrated to Kerala from the Tulu Nadu region. Even though settled in Kerala, most of the Embranthiries still speak Tulu as mother-tongue, and are considered as Tulu Brahmins. Some sects of Embranthiris have adopted the Malayala Brahmin surnames "Namboothiri" and "Potti".
