Mudaliar (alternatively spelled: Muthaliar, Muthaliyar, Mudali, Muthali or Moodley) is a title used by people belonging to various Tamil castes. Castes using the title speak Tamil as their native language. The title was mostly used among Tamils from Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, and was given to a high-ranking military officer.
Etymology
The title is derived from the Tamil word muthal meaning first with the suffix yaar denoting people. The title is used in the same sense as simply meaning headman.
