Chekavar (also Chekava, Chekavan, Chevakan, Chon) is an Ezhava sub-caste with origins in southern India, Kerala and some parts of Tamil Nadu. Descendents of the sub-caste can also be found in some parts of Sri Lanka. ==Etymology== Chekavar is derived from the Sanskrit words ''Sevakar'', ''Sevakan'' or ''Sevaka'', which means soldiers in service or soldiers in royal service.
