Maruthoor
The Maruthoor family is one of the eight branches of Naranath Valyathottathil Kudumbayogam.〔http://naranathvaliyathottathil.com/〕
This aristocratic Keralite Christian family claims its origin from one of the Brahmin families converted to Christianity by St. Thomas in the 1st century AD. Though members of this family have migrated to different parts of Kerala (in the south-west region of India on the Malabar coast Malabar Coast), the main area of settlement is still found in and around Keezhuvaipur, Mallappally, Paduthodu and Valakuzhy.
==Origin==
In AD 52, St Thomas, one of the disciples of Jesus, came to minister in Malankara (Maliankara), which was an island inhabited by many Brahmin families ensconced at the lake near present Kodungallur or Crangannur (Kottakkayal/Mussiris). As a result of St. Thomas' ministry work, many Brahmins converted. After the ministry work at Kottakkavu, St. Thomas went to Palur (Palayur) by boat through the backwaters. Palayur was a stronghold for both Bramhins and Jews. The conversion of Brahmins resulted in such an aversion among the Namboodiri Brahmins that they left cursing the place, and thus the name Chavakkad has derived from "sapakkadu" (Accursed Land). The Evangelistic work there made history in Kerala. The genesis of popular Christian families such as Pakalomattaom, Shankarapuri Kalli and Kalikavu was at this place.
