DanielSebastian~ 4387 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?

Maybe in North Kerala, In the south its pronounced as Mangalore.
That's Palakkad division's stupidity, nothing else.
It used to be announced as Mangalore/Mangaluru in Hindi/English and Mangalapuram in Malayalam only. Now they've changed it to Mangalapuram in all languages which confuses travellers from outside Kerala.

The name Mangalore or Mangalapuram comes from the Mangala Devi temple and shrine.
As the other observers mentioned, only stations in PGT division announce Mangalapuram in all languages, while in TVC division, they use Mangalapuram for only Malayalam and switch to Mangalore for the rest of the announcements.

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references to this name is made by Pandya King Chettian, who called the city as Managalapuram in 715 A.D. Yet another historical reference is by the 11th century Arabian traveler Ibn Batuta, whose chronicles refer to Mangalore as Manjarur.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.
Confusion of this name is an issue. People rarely pay attention to Train numbers. Perhaps the other name should gain more popularity as well. Like Kolkata - Calcutta, Kalakattha in Telugu or Rajamundry, Rajamahendravaram and so on. Should we introduce this kind of local pronounciations in other states as well is another question that can be asked?

Still pending so, It would be great if the Southern Railways could address this issue and consider adjusting the timing to accommodate the demand.
