The present name of Chennai is derived from the name of one Damarla Chennappa Nayak, whose son, Venkatapathy Nayak was once the ruling chieftain. The city was earlier known as Madras which is derived from Madraspatnam, the site chosen by the British East India Company for a permanent settlement in 1639. The name Madras was coined by the British. Another small town, Chennapatnam, lay to the south of the city. In due course when the two towns were merged, the British retained the term Madras. However, the locals still used to refer to it as Chennapatnam or Chennapuri. The city was renamed Chennai in August, 1996 as Chennai as the name Madras was perceived to be of Portuguese origin and discarded.
