Kerala

Female: 2 countries

Origin: Malayalam

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.
