== Etymology ==
Thalassery ((ヒンディー語:त लश्शेरि)) originates from the ancient Malayalam linguistic usage 'Thala' (Head) and 'Kacheri' (Office), thus Thalassery or 'head of offices'. It could also have emerged from Talakkathe cheri, a combination of 'Talakkate' (Upper or north) and 'Cheri' (Settlement). It could also be a combination of ''Thali''(Brahminic habitation) and ''ssery'' i.e. Brahminic village. Thalassery could be a Brahminic village, as it hosts ancient Shree Ramaswamy shrines dedicated/connected to Rama (Rama-Vaishnavite/ Smartha sects settlements in various villages in and around Thalassery such as Tiruvangad, Andaloor, Makreri, Peralassery, Edakkad, Taliparamba, Cheruthazham, Mavilayi, Kadalayi, Trichambaram, Thrikykunnu near Koothuparamba, Kannapuram e.t.c.), such a large number of shrines dedicated to or related to Rama in close vicinity is rare compared to other places in Kerala. The 1885 administration manual vol. 2 of the former Madras Presidency cites research in regional legends and folklore to indicate that the puranic name of Thalassery was Swetharanya pura.〔(Thalassery – History ). Thalassery.info.〕 The Upanishad Acharya Swethakethu is believed to have taken penance there and it is said that Shiva danced ananda thandava here. This is the stala purana of Tiruvangad Shree Ramaswamy Temple. Thalassery was also known as known as Tellicherry the anglicised form of the Malayalam name Thalassery during the European era and in the official documents till the end of 90's but the name Thalassery is now used officially and the usage of the name Tellicherry is less.
Thalassery had a nickname in the nineteenth century, ''The Paris of Kerala,'' as it was the major town where the French military base in Kerala was located. Even though later the French abandoned Thalassery and shifted their base to Mahé (5 km south of Thalassery)(named after the French administrator Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais) as spices could be easily transported to sea using canoes through Mahé river the nickname remained.
