Eradi
Eradi is a Samanthan clan of Kshatriya origin, coming from the Indian state of Kerala. The word is derived from the place name Eranad in Kerala. The "Samoothiri" ( Zamorin) comes from this Eradi subcaste, now assimilated to Samantha Kshatriya, the major upper caste of state of Kerala. Historically the Eradis numbered only a few hundreds of members. The 1891 Census of India reported their population at just 356, constituting less than 0.04% of the total Nair population.
