About Thirumal and Valavan

I am from Tamilnadu and all my family tree are from Fertile land Thanjavur District and near Mayiladuthurai (Now in Nagai District). My Grand/Grand fathers are land lords and my immediate grand father is a teacher and my dad is a professor.

My Dad and his colleague are so fond of tamil and so they named after the great king Karikala Chozhan alias "Thiruma-Valavan". But as my dad is devotee to Lord Venkatachalapthi, they gave a small twist and named "Thiruma"l"-"Valavan" with an extra L. It is so unique in tamilnadu to have this name.

P.S.
So my name is nothing to do with Andhra pradesh or I am not from Andhra.
