Migrated from Hejaz around 7th AH to settle for a few decades in a place known as 'Naet' near Basra, Iraq [hence our extended Clan is known as "Navaeta"]; thence to the Sub-continent through Arabian Sea to Malabar Coast [Bhatkal/Kokan] on Western-Southern Hindustan around 10 AH. Extensive Family settlements in Madras, Hyderabad, Banglore, Seringapatam/Arcot. Now, the Navaetas are spread all over the World.
