Kiraikkaran.--Kiraikkaran is an occupational name, denoting those who cultivate kirai (Amarantus). The Kiraikkarans are stated, in the Census Report, 1901, to be usually Agamudaiyans in Coimbatore.

The majority of them cultivate kirai and other edible vegetables, but some are petty traders or fishermen. Some of their marriage divisions are named after deities, e.g., Masani and Viramashti, and one division is called Jogi. Kirata (hunter).--A name assumed by Bedars, Ekaris, and other classes.

Kodikkal.--Kodikkal, Kodikkar, or Kodikkalkaran, meaning betel vine man, is the occupational name of a sub-division of Vellalas, and of Labbai Muhammadans who cultivate the betel vine. In the Census Report, 1901, it is noted that those who gave this as the name of their caste returned their parent tongue as Tamil, and their title as Nayakkan, and were therefore clubbed with Pallis. Kodikkal is further a sub-division of the Shanans, who derive the name from kodi, a flag, and give flag-bearer as its significance. Other castes, however, make it to mean a betel garden, in reference to Shanans who were betel vine growers. Kodikkal Pillaimar is a synonym of the Senaikkudaiyans, indicating Pillaimars who cultivate the betel vine. Kodiyal.--A sub-division of Kudubi.
