    Solution

    The Kerala Assembly has passed a resolution urging the Centre to change the name of the state to "Keralam" in the Constitution and all office records. The resolution, moved by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, was passed unanimously. There are many theories about the origin of the name 'Kerala'. The earliest archival record to mention Kerala is emperor Ashoka's inscription II of 257 BC.
