Vettinjayathil Family was one of the prominent nair families in Central Travancore , anchored in Thiruvalla Taluk. Family Home was built in a beautiful valley, besides the paddy fields just along the boundary of puthusserry and chengaroor villages. Our ancestors owned large amount of land in Kalloppara and Thrikkinnappuzha 'Pravrithies'(village office). These were earned by them from the authorities of Edappally Swaroopam,  who were  the rulers of these places at that time. Our ancestors assisted local administrators doing farming, tax collection and maintaining local law and order administration. They came here from north, probably from Thambalakkad- Ponkunnam,  presently  in Kottayam district. They came to Thengana , near Changanacherry. Njettoorkavu Temple was there. It was owned by a Namboothiri family.

            Then they moved towards south to Paippad, Kalloppara and Chengaroor. Agriculture along with cattle rearing was done extensively.The Edappally Thampuraan or the ' Travancore king ' himself gave them the place of 'Land Lord' and the title 'Panicker'. They were ardent Devotees also. The name 'Vettinjayam' may be an outcome of the law enforcement.  'njayam'- is 'nyayam' meaning ; justice. 'Vetti' is 'being cut by sword'. So they might have justified every action ('vettu') with their sword , or they possessed the privilege to do so .
