allur

Allur is a place name and, less commonly, a surname used in parts of South Asia. In geographic usage, it appears as the name of several villages and localities in India. The spelling is variable in English transliteration, with forms such as Allur, Alur, Alloor, and Alluru reflecting differences in local languages and scripts. These instances are generally small rural settlements governed at the village or taluk level, and comprehensive details are typically found in state or district gazetteers rather than national records.

The toponym’s exact origins are not uniformly documented. Like many Indian village names, Allur likely derives from local linguistic roots tied to geography, history, or agrarian activity, but precise etymologies vary by location and are not universally established in accessible sources. The name’s usage as a surname is also observed in some communities, though it is not widely documented in major biographical references.

Because Allur can refer to multiple places with different administrative contexts, it is important to identify the specific locality when consulting maps, records, or services. Variants in spelling can complicate cross-referencing across sources and over time, particularly in historical documents and regional inventories.
