Nambi?r , also known as Nambiy?r , is a sub-group of the Indian Nair caste. Many were jenmi landlords in the Malabar region. ^{[1] [2]}

In earlier days, Nambiar women, like most women of Nair clans of North Malabar (present-day Kannur , Kasaragod , Wayanad districts) would not marry Nair men of South Malabar (present-day Kozhikode , Malappuram , Palakkad , Thrissur districts). ^{[2] [3]}
