Origin of Chalappuram Family

It is very difficult to trace the root or the origin of Chalappuram family in the absence of authentic depositions. So we have to depend on legends of our ancestors passed on orally, to get a clear picture about oldest generations especially the first two or three. As per these legends, family’s root begins at a small place or street at Kozhikode (Calicut, India) in ancient Malabar area, called ‘Chalappuram’ where the natives were mostly Brahmins, Nairs and Thiyyas. Still in the year of 2011, Chalappuram is the name of a locality (Ward No.19) in Kozhikode Corporation.
