==History==<br />
{{Unreferenced section|date=July 2024}} <br />
According to locals, Chikkadpally derives its name from ''chikkad'', meaning mud, and ''-pally'' (originally ''palle, పల్లె'' in [[Telugu language|Telugu]]) meaning place or hamlet. Since Chikkadpally is in a low-lying area, it is usually plagued by ''chikkad'' due to inflow of drain water.<ref>{{Cite web |last=India |first=The Hans |date=2015-02-03 |title=Chikkadpally A cesspool turned commercial centre |url=https://www.thehansindia.com/posts/index/Hyderabad/2015-02-03/Chikkadpally-A-cesspool-turned-commercial-centre/129283 |access-date=2026-03-26 |website=www.thehansindia.com |language=en}}</ref><br />
