నెల్లూరు జిల్లా పేరును శ్రీ పొట్టి శ్రీరాములు నెల్లూరు జిల్లాగా ఏ ప్రభుత్వ హయాంలో జరిగింది?
The name of the district derives from the name of the district headquarters, Nellore. The district was known as "Vikrama Simhapuri" until the 13th century and later it came to be referred to as Nellore. A mythological story from Sthala Purana depicts, a lingam in the form of a stone under "nelli tree". The place gradually became "Nelli-ooru" ("Nelli=Name of the Tree" and "ooru=place") and then to present day "Nellore". Government of Andhra Pradesh officially renamed the district as "Sri Potti Sri Ramulu Nellore District" after the freedom fighter and revolutionary Potti Sri Ramulu, who died fasting in an attempt to achieve the formation of a separate state for the Telugu people.
