'''Chevoor''' is a [[census town]] in [[Thrissur district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Kerala]]. Chevvoor, or Chovvur as it is called in the Indian postal department, is 9&nbsp;km from [[Thrissur]] city in the route Thrissur-[[Irinjalakuda]]/[[Kodungallor]]/[[Triprayar|Thriprayar]]. It is a little hillock surrounded by paddy fields. The name Chevvoor could have been derived from the fact that this place was developed, with levelled roads and living areas (''Chovvulla Ur''  (ശുഭപുരം) in Malayalam means straightened place).
