Etymology

The town of Nellimarla derives its name from a Telugu word for the medicinal tree Clerodendrum phlomidis Linn, of the family Verbenaceae, called 'Nelli chettu' or 'Nelli tree'.

The city of Nellore at the extreme south of coastal Andhra Pradesh too derives its name from the same medicinal tree.

The Nelli tree is known by alternate names in Telugu lands, one of which is 'Tekkali' chettu (Telugu: టెక్కలి చెట్టు) (from which Tekkali town in Srikakulam District, north coastal Andhra Pradesh derives its name). 'Tauki' chettu is another name.

Geography

Nellimarla is on the banks of Champavathi River at . It has an average elevation of 190 metres (626 ft).

The river is called 'cunning river' (Telugu: donga eru) due to changing course and sudden change of water levels. It flooded many times during the 1990s.
