The fight resulted in many deaths; the area was later named Kunnamangalam. The victims were called Chathamangalam, and those who led the fight were called Padanilam. Another story behind Chathamangalam is related to the ancient temple of Chathamangalathappan.

As the families of the sorcerers live here, it is called the place of Kuttichathan, or Chathamangalam.
