Usiri refers to the plant Amalaka or Usiri (Phyllanthus Emblica). The Komatis are said to have originally lived, and still live in large numbers on the banks of the Godavari river. One of the local names thereof is Gomati or Gomti, and the Sanskrit Gomati would, in Telugu, become corrupted into Komati. The sub-divisions are split up into septs (viz., Usiri), which are of a strictly exogamous character.
