Chevoor is a census town in Thrissur district in the Indian state of Kerala. Chevvoor, or Chovvur as it is called in the Indian postal department, is 9 km from Thrissur city on the Thrissur-Irinjalakuda/Kodungallor/Thriprayar route. It is a little hillock surrounded by paddy fields. The name Chevvoor could have been derived from the fact that this place was developed, with levelled roads and living areas (Chovvulla Ur in Malayalam means straightened place).
