The history of the last name Addepalli

The surname ADDEPALLI is believed to have originated from India, specifically from the state of Andhra Pradesh, during the medieval period. It is derived from the Telugu word "Addepalli," which refers to a village or town located near a river. The name itself is a compound word formed by combining "Adde," meaning river, and "Palli," meaning village or town.

In ancient Indian history, surnames were often derived from the names of villages, towns, or regions where a person or family originated. The ADDEPALLI surname likely emerged as a way to identify individuals or families who hailed from a village or town near a river, possibly for administrative or record-keeping purposes.

One of the earliest recorded references to the ADDEPALLI surname can be found in the Kakatiya inscriptions, a collection of stone inscriptions from the Kakatiya dynasty that ruled the Andhra region between the 12th and 14th centuries. These inscriptions mention individuals with the surname, suggesting its existence during that time period.
