Castes and Tribes of Southern India/Yānāti
Yānāti.— The Yānātls, Yēnētis, or Ēnētis, are a class of cultivators in the Ganjam and Vizagapatam districts, between whom and the Yānādis some confusion has arisen. For example, it is noted, in the Madras Census Report, 1891, that it is curious to find the Yānādi sub-division of the Velamas so strongly represented, for there is at the present day a wide gulf between Velamas and Yānādis, Again, in the Census Report, 1901, it is noticed under the heading Yānāti that "entries of this name were clubbed with Yānādi, but it has since been reported that, in Bissumcuttack taluk of the Vizagapatam Agency, there is a separate caste called Yānāti or Yēnēti Dora, which is distinct from either Yānādi or Konda Dora."
It is said that the Yānātis of Ganjam also go by the name of Entamara and Gainta or Gayinta.
