Abstract

‘Ethnonymy’, the process of naming the ethnoses, encompasses both the aspects of ‘ethnonym’, viz., the ‘exonym’ i.e., the call name addressed by the ‘outsiders’ towards other communities and the ‘endonym’ i.e., the self claiming name preferred by the ‘insiders’ of ethnic communities . Of these, usually the former is ‘multiple’ in existence and the latter is ‘single’ in occurrence. The ‘Kurru’, on indigenous ethnos under focus, is identified to possess multiple exonyms, namely, ‘Malakkuravan’, ‘Kuravan Siddhanar’, ‘Koravar’ with 26 subgroups , ‘Yerukala Yerukula’ and ‘Koraga’ in Tamil Nadu ‘Malakkuravan’, ‘Kuravan Siddhanar’, ‘Koravar’, ‘Koraga’ and ‘Kakkalan’ in Kerala Yerukala Yerukula’ in Andhra Pradesh and Telengana ‘Koraga’, ‘Korama’ and ‘Koracha’ in Karnataka ‘Korvi’, ‘Paamloar Korvi’ and ‘Kulu Kaikedi’ in Maharashtra ‘Keer’ in Rajasthan ‘Korava’ in Chhattishgarh and ‘Korwa’ in Jharkhand.
