Puliyanthivu ((タミル語:புளியந்தீவு)) is an island of Sri Lanka and part of Batticaloa town. It has important infrastructures such as government buildings (District Secretariat. Municipal council, Post office, Public library, Teaching hospital, Bus stand, etc.), banks, schools, religious worship places and historical importance places, notably Batticaloa Fort.〔(Puliyanthivu )〕 ==Etymology== Batticaloa historical book ''Mattakalapputh Thamilakam'' quotes from Swami Vipulananda that Vedda’s chieftain ''Puliyan'' ruled the area and his name later adapted to the island. Puliyanthivu literally means "island of Puliyan" (''thivu'' means island). Also, the book quotes from Mahavamsa that there was a caste called ''Pulinthar'', which could be the reason for the name of island. As per the common naming of villages in Batticaloa, which called by name of tree and pond, the island could have been used the name of tree tamarind, since there was a lot of tamarind trees in the area. Tamarind is called ''Puli'' in Tamil. Literally, it means "island of tamarind".
