The city is the fourth most populous settlement of the state well known for its agriculture and aquaculture. == Etymology == In Telugu 'Nelli' stands for 'Gooseberry',〔https://suruchi.wordpress.com/2012/07/11/nelli-chettu-saaru-dried-gooseberry-rasam/〕 and 'Ooru' stands for Town. Nellore finds mention in Dongalasani epigraph of 1160 AD. The name is said to have been derived from ‘Nelli’ trees (Perma Latifolia) which were abundant in the region. The name Nellore has a Tamil origin as well. ‘Nellu’ in Tamil means paddy, indicating that the place is known for its rich harvest of paddy, consequently Nellore got it's another Sanskrit overlaid name of ''Dhanyapuri''. 〔http://1nellore.com/about-nellore/〕 The name Vikrama Simhapuri derives itself from literature and inscriptions of 12th century AD which mention the place as ‘Vikrama Simhapuri’. This name is linked to an early Pallava ruler, Simha – Vishnu (575 – 600 AD), though the Pallava inscriptions either of Simha – Vishnu or of the latter period did not refer to Simhapuri in spite of the fact that Nellore remained a part of the early Pallava territory of pre- and post- Simha Vishnu period. Nellore was under the reign of the Pallavas, Cholas, Chalukyas, Kaktiyas, and the Vijayanagara empire. The city was known as ''Vikrama Simhapuri'' and was the capital of Manumasiddhi of Nellore Cholas in the thirteen century.〔http://www.katragadda.com/articles/HistoryOfTheAndhras.pdf〕 According to ''Gazetteer of the Nellore District : Brought Upto 1938'' Madras Presidency, the word ''Nellore'' is a combination of two Tamil words ''Nel'' and ''ooru'' which means ''Paddy Town'' in Tamil.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gazetteer of the Nellore District )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nellore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
