== The reason for name ==
Some people say that the word came from "Merku All marai nadu" which means west side place where people hide. So in the past, this village was entirely covered up by 'veli' (a thorny plant which can be found in the countryside) (karuvela maram is different). But now the village is developed. Mainly all are people are farmers, and cultivation is based on only the rainfall which is not regular due to the geography of the place. This village has two schools. R.C elementary school and St. Antony's High School where more than 400 children are studying. Both schools are being run by Don Bosco Christian missionary. Children from nearby villages are studying here. It has a Library newly opened for public access, as it helps the growing children to broaden their knowledge towards reading many varieties of books. It has one bus stand. Bus facilities from Sivakasi and Rajapalayam via Tamil Nadu Cements Alangulam. Even though it is a small village it creates a lot of Engineers, Technicians, and Doctors. Advocates S. Palaniselvam, B.A., B.L., and P. Muruganantham, ML., Intelligence Officer Mr. A. Ashok Raja, M.com, and well-known Tamil author [[Melanmai Ponnusamy]] all hail from this village.

There is another village nearby called 'Keelanmarainadu'. This village is {{convert|5|km|mi}} from Alangulam Cements towards 'Sevlapatti'.
