==Etymology== According to one story, after uniting the country King Dutugemunu had given precious gifts to Nandimitra, one of the ten giant warriors belonged to the king. Nandimitra was given an area in the south-west region of Anuradhapura and he settled himself there with his battalion of elephants. It is believed the elephants were housed in a kraal (in Sinhalaː Ali Maduwa), where present-day Anamaduwa is situated. As time went by and the influence brought in by the Tamil language to the area, Ali Maduwa had become to Anei Madam and then evolved to current name of Anamaduwa.
