In 1909, a British writer wrote that the '''Kanakkan''' people wore a sacred thread, which is normally reserved for high caste [[Brahmins]].<br />
<br />
The Padannan is also called Kanakkan. They were brought to Kerala to maintain accounts of the temples and given the title ''Kanakkapillai'' (accountant). The title Kanakkapillai has become Kannakkan in the course of time. However, they are not using the title Kanakkapillai. <br />
