Kizha Ambur is an ancient village with rich culture has an old name Snekapuri ([[tamil language|Tamil]]: சிநேகபுரி). Sneka in Sanskrit means "Love" ([[tamil language|Tamil]]: அன்பு). Puri can be translated as a village ([[tamil language|Tamil]]: ஊர்). So if we translate it in Tamil the name will be "Anbu-oor" which has metamorphized as "Ambur" ([[tamil language|Tamil]]: ஆம்பூர்).Another reason is found in the stone inscription of [[Sivasailam]] temple is that '''Aambal flower''' is found in '''[[Poovankurichi|Poovan Kurichi]] lake'''. So it got the name Ambur.<br />
