In classical Telugu literature, to replace the masculine suffix ayya with Arya in masculine personal names was a common practice. For example, there were names of poets such as chintalapUDi ellanAryuDu (ellanArya+u+Du, Du being one more masculine Telugu suffix, u occuring for euphony). This formula is followed in changing the Telugu masculine personal names ending in the suffix ayya into their Sanskritized forms by changing ayya into Arya e.g. Nanayya (Nanni/Nanna+ayya) is changed into NannapArya (Nanni/Nanna+apa(<appa)+Arya). ( This is similar to the feminine Telugu personal names ending in the suffix amma being changed into their 'Sanskritized' forms ending in ambA, e.g. Tirumalamma is changed into TirumalAmbA)  

There are family names such as ayyadEvara in which ayya is a prefix in Telugu speaking families.

Words such as ayya utta (Aryaputra )/ ayya utto (Arya putrah) etc. are used in Bhasa's plays such as pratimA.
