Kanadukathan Chettinadu Palace, an example of Chettinadu architecture.

Chettiar (also spelt as Chetti and Chetty) is a title used by many traders, weaving, agricultural and land-owning castes in South India, especially in the Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka.[1][2][3]

Etymology

Chettiar/Chetty is derived from the Sanskrit word Шаблон:IAST (Devanagari: श्रेष्ठ) or Шаблон:IAST (Devanagari: श्रेष्ठीन्) meaning superior, Prakritised as Шаблон:IAST (Devanagari: सेठी), and then Шаблон:IAST (Devanagari: शेट) or Шаблон:IAST (Devanagari: शेटी) in modern Indo-Aryan dialects.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
