Karaikal district
Karaikal district ((タミル語:காரைக்கால் மாவட்டம்)) (also ''Karikal'' or ''Karaikkal'') is one of the four districts of the Union Territory of Puducherry in India.
Karaikal town (about 16 km north of Nagappattinam and 12 km south of Tarangambadi) is the regional headquarters. Karaikal region is made up of the Communes of Karaikal, Kottucherry, Nedungadu, Tirunallar, Neravy and Tirumalarajanpattinam.
==Etymology==
Several explanations are offered for the word ''Karaikal''. The Imperial Gazetteer gives it the meaning 'fish pass'. According to Julien Vinson the town is said to have known as Karaigiri in Sanskrit. However, the name Karaikal is no doubt a combination of two words 'Karai' and 'Kal'. Both the words ‘Karai and 'Kal' have several meanings, of which the more acceptable ones are 'lime mix' and 'canal' respectively. Hence it has been suggested that the name may mean a canal built of lime mix.〔http://www.karaikal.com/generalinformation.htm〕
