Elavanthi
Elavanthi (also called Ilavanthi, or Elonthi) is a family name for a now spread-out group of families of South Asian origin and historically from a Buddhist tradition that gradually transformed to become Hindus. Considered to be originally migrants from the island of Sri Lanka to India, their early ancestors possibly lived in and around the village of Elavanthi in Kovai (Coimbatore) region in Tamil Nadu, from where they took the name.
