Sannur

Sannur is a toponym used in parts of the Indian subcontinent. It is encountered as the name of several small settlements and neighborhoods, and it may also appear as a surname or in the names of local institutions and businesses. Because multiple places share the same name, precise identification typically requires additional geographic qualifiers such as state or district.

Geographic usage and context vary by locality. In different places, the population size, local economy, and language traditions differ, reflecting the broader regional diversity of the area where the name is used. Because there are several distinct Sannurs, there is no single defining profile that applies to all instances.

Etymology and origin of the name are not universally established. The term likely derives from local language elements tied to land, water, or settlement patterns, but there is no widely accepted, definitive explanation. Local historical and linguistic scholarship may offer varying interpretations for different villages bearing the name.

Other uses of the term include its use as a surname and its appearance in the names of roads, schools, businesses, or organizations associated with a place named Sannur. Without additional context, each reference to Sannur should be understood as potentially referring to a different locality or entity.
