DanielSebastian~ 4399 blog postsI've seen that the train boards mostly have Mangaluru in the name but the train announcements all throughout kerala refer to it as Mangalapuram. Can it be a local name for the city? It isn't official but many people do refer to it as Mangalapuram. What is the origin of this name?

Read about this on click here The Malayalam language variant of the same is Mangalapuram. One of the earliest references to this name is made by Pandya King Chettian, who called the city as Managalapuram in 715 A.D. Yet another historical reference is by the 11th century Arabian traveler Ibn Batuta, whose chronicles refer to Mangalore as Manjarur. It's just shows the confluence between both Karnataka and Kerala. Does Tulu have a huge Malayalam influence? I mean, all dravidian languages do have a lot of similarities but I don't believe there is a city that has two different names in two languages.
