| Abstract: | Cannanore is the anglicised form of the Malayalam word “ Kannur” . According to one view “ Kannur” is the variation of Kanathur, an ancient village, the name of which survive even today in one of the wards of Cannanore Municipality. Perhaps, like several other ancient towns of Kerala, Cannanore also is named after one of the deities of the Hindu Pantheon. Thus “ Kannur” is the compound of the two words ‘Kannan’ meaning Lord Krishna, and 'Ur’ meaning place, the place of Lord Krishna. |
