Iyers Ayyangars No Sanction Vedas Smriti

They can be used for Abhichaara Prayoga by vested interests.

Abhivadanama is for elders of the same community and Brahmins and only those who can Bless you with Veda Swasthi Mantra(Blessings from the Veda)

As far as I could check the terms Iyers, Ayyangars seem to have evolved during the middle ages, some say during Ramanuja's period, though there seems to be no solid evidence on this.

There terms were formulated to build an Endemic group by some.

Unfortunately this is being practiced to-day to divide Hindu Brahmins ans Iyers ans Ayyangars, North Indian Brahmin and a South Indian Brahmin.

These have no sanction of the Vedas nor the Smriti.

History Of Brahmins India

Such is the expectations from the Brahmins, the Manu Dharma Shastra sanctions 1000 times more severe punishment for Brahmin for similar offence committed by the other groups like Kshatriya, Vaisya and Sudras.

There are references to Brahmins from time of the Vedas, about 5000 years old, and in the Purans.

Pippalatha, Katyayani.Angiras,Bharadwaja,Maitri, Gargi are some of the Brahmins who composed the Veda sutras.

Maitri, Gargi and Katyayani were women.

The Brahmins were spread through out the world as were the Vedas.

Later after Sage Viswamitra consigned his sons beyond the Vindhyas to the Dakshina Desa, or Dravida, there appeared a distinction between the Brahmins of the North and those from the South.
