The

originally lived and still live in large numbers on the banks of
Godavari river. One of the local names therof is Gomati or Gomti, and
the sanskrit Gomati for river Godavari .So people lived in the banks are
called as gomati, would in Telgu, Corrupted as Komati . others again
,say that it is from go-mati,meaning cow-minded.

How was Komati then called as vysya's?
Between
1921 to 1931, the Viceroy of Madras Presidency had implemented a
commission which fecilitated ,the Community people to register their
community with alterations in the name if any.The Vysya
Association(1905) registered the community Komati as Arya Vysya's and
that's why our people are now called as Arya Vysyas.
