Etymology
Kotowari City historically had the name "Kiḻakkiṉ Nakai", or just "Kiḻakkin", meaning "The Jewel of the East". The name was given to the city originally by Orinese explorers who visited the city in the early 11th century. The first time a name similar to it's modern name was mentioned was in the 1750s, in a scripture written named "Nakaraṅkaḷiṉ Puttakam" which names the city: "கோட்டோவாரி நகரம்" or "The City of Kotovari".
