A state in southern India. Capital: Thiruvananthapuram (formerly known as Trivandrum). Largest city: Kochi (formerly known as Cochin).
Borrowed from Malayalam കേരളം (kēraḷaṁ), which is of uncertain origin. One popular theory derives the name from Malayalam കേരം (kēraṁ, “coconut tree”) and Malayalam അളം (aḷaṁ, “land”), thus "land of coconuts", which is also the state's nickname. More at Kerala § Etymology on Wikipedia.
