  • While Keralam is the accepted and common usage in Malayalam, the State is generally referred to as Kerala in official records, especially those in English. The First Schedule of the Constitution also specifies the name of the State as Kerala.

However, the name of our State is listed as Kerala in the First Schedule of the Constitution.
