Vadama (Tamil: வடமா) meaning Northerners are a sub-sect of the Iyer community of Tamil Brahmins. While some believe that their name is an indication of the fact that they were the most recent Brahmin migrants to the Tamil country others interpret the usage of the term Vadama as a reference to their strict adherence to the Sanskrit language and Vedic rituals which are of northerly origin .
