Malayathi Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

Yathi => Sanyaasi (reference from 'yatheeshwara'). Yathi generally means one who has crossed all good and bad, happy and unhappy, fear, gender difference, kaama (desires). In the time from Ancient, Maala Yathi may have changed to Malayathi. In ancient texts and stories, we often hear of yatheeshwara, a word referring to Sanyaasis (Rishis) who are with no clothes. In the Himalayas, there was a group called "Yathis" who always wear garland and no clothes. From the word Malayathi or Maalayathi, I clearly see that it is referring to the group of Yathis (Rishis) who wears Maala.
