'''Variyar''' (also written as Variar, Varyar, Warriar or Warrier) is a Ambalavasi community in [[Kerala]], India.

==Etymology==

The term Variyar has its origin in the [[Malayalam]] word 'Variyam' ({{lang-ml|വാരിയം}} /വാര്യം), which refers to a committee or a board. Variyam refers to an office of supervision. Thus variyar is a supervising officer or a member of a supervisory board or committee. The word is commonly used in the plural form as Variar (Varian + -ar) to denote respect. The feminine equivalent of Variar is ''Varassyar''. It is a combination of Variyassi/Variaththi and the plural suffix ''-ar''.
