Panicker (sometimes Panikkar) is an Indian title or last name.

Etymology

The Dravidian Etymological Dictionary, entry number 3884, considers the word Panikkan as a word of Dravidian etymology, deriving from the Dravidian root word Pani, meaning service, work etc. Panikkan could mean a person who commands as well as one who serves. The DED traces cognates of the word Panikkan in twelve Dravidian languages, besides Malayalam.^{[citation needed]}

The Portuguese traveller Duarte Barbosa said that "They are the skillful men who teach this art Kalarippayattu, and they are called the Panickers: these are the captains in war. Commander of one hundred (100) captains. Each captain commands one hundred (100) soldiers."^[1]

Spelling

Following the current conventions for romanising Malayalam without diacritic marks, the name would be "Panikkar". However, Panikker, Panicker, Panickar, Paniker, Panikar, Panniker, and Pannikavannar, and other variants are found.^{[citation needed]}
