Map of India with Kerala highlighted Etymology
Borrowed from Malayalam കേരളം ( kēraḷaṁ ) which is of uncertain origin. One popular theory derives the name from Malayalam കേരം ( kēraṁ , “ coconut tree ” ) and Malayalam അളം ( aḷaṁ , “ land ” ) , thus "land of coconuts", which is also the state's nickname. More at Kerala .
