Appuhamy, also referred as Appuhami,(Sinhala: අප්පුහාමි) from Appu (Gentleman) and Hami (Lord)(Hamie is a derivation of Sanskrit word Swami) is a Sinhala surname or an honorific term for men used traditionally between 14th and 20th centuries in Sri Lanka (Ceylon). It is also a term used for Dugganna Nilame of Kandyan era kings.Appuhamy served as an honorific title during the period of the Sinhalese kingdom, similar to titles such as Rala, Nilame, and Banda. It was sometimes used interchangeably with Rala and Nilame. During the reign of King Rajasingha II, the title Appuhamy was used for district governors. The Mahadisawa of Satkorale at the time was referred to as Tennakoon Appuhamy.
