			The name of the village ''Vontimitta'' is said to be derived from the names of two persons ''Vontudu'' and ''Mittudu''. These two helped a king named ''Kampana'', who camped with his army at this place, by showing the water of Ramatirtham to quench the king and his fellowmen’s thirst. Then the king pleased at them and built a village after their names. King Kampana may be the [[Kumara Kampana]], son of king [[Bukka\|Bukka Raya I]]. Vontudu –Mittudu later became "Vontimitta". Kampana also built a temple of Rama here.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web\|date=2009-01-20\|title=Vontimitta (Ekasilanagaram) – Kodanda Rama Temple\|url=https://english.kadapa.info/vontimitta-ekasilanagaram-kodanda-rama-temple/\|access-date=2022-01-18\|website=www.kadapa.info\|language=en-US}}</ref>

			Another version is that the village is called Ekasilanagaram (lit. City of one stone) because the idols of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana are carved out of a single stone with a common pedestal.

			The village is situated on a risen ground by the side of a small hill. The village might've got its name from the hill which in [[Telugu language\|Telugu]] is Vontimitta. (''vonti'' translates to single and ''mitta'' to hill).
