==Etymology==
Valvettithurai in Tamil could mean "The port of the expanse of forest land/scrub jungle" or "The port of the raised stretch of open land".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Valveddiththu'rai, Know the Etymology: 35 Place Name of the Day: Wednesday, 18 July 2007 )〕 The word Valvettithurai seems to have been derived from the combination of Tamil words Vallai meaning a big forest or a raised stretch of land, Vedi which means expanse or open space, and Thu’rai which refers to seaport.
