Etymology
According to one legend, the original name of this village used to be "Anganala Koduru". 'Anganala' means Women's and Koduru is a colloquial synonym for 'village' or 'a hamlet'. The full meaning is "Women's village". In ancient times women used to be more in number than men in this village, thus the name. Over a period of time the name was transformed into "Angalakuduru". But this story is only hearsay, no historical or documentary evidence is available.
