Komalapuram is a village in Alappuzha district in the Indian state of Kerala. It is part of Aryad panchayat. It is said that the name Komalapuram is a word combined of two words 'Komalam' and 'Puram'. Komalam is named after Mr. Komalam Shetty, a money lender who lived in the area, and 'Puram' means an area of land. Another theory is that the name is derived from the Malayalam word 'komalam', the beauty of kids and women and that the meaning of Komalapuram came from the ' Land of Beautiful Kids and Ladies'.
