It is around 4 km from downtown. It is one of the first settlements in Changanasserry Taluk. It is also the birthplace of the renowned athlete, Anju Bobby George. Origin of the nameThe name Cheeranchira is believed to have its roots in perhaps the land's original ownership by an individual named Cheeran. From Cheeran's chira (small parcel of land mostly surrounded by water) the land got its name Cheeran is an archaic Malayali name. Another speculation is that the locality was infested by thorny amaranths (Amaranthus spinosus) plants (മുള്ളഞ്ചീര) giving it the name Cheera-chira, which later became Cheeranchira. The land is also referred to as Veroor Muriyil by various legal documents of the previous decades.[1] LuminariesAnju Bobby GeorgeIt was here that Anju Bobby George was born, spent her early years.
