The Telugu Chodas or Telugu Cholas were rulers who ruled parts of present-day Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and southern Odissa[2] as samantas (vassals) of the Pallavas, and later as vassals of the Imperial Cholas.[3][4] There are many branches like Renati Chodas, Pottapi Chodas, Konidena Chodas, Nannuru Chodas, Nellore Chodas and Kunduru Chodas. The origins of the Telugu Chodas are diverse; while some claimed descent from Karikala, others were local Telugu-speaking feudatories of the Cholas in the Andhra region who added "Choda" to their names as an honorific.[5]

Since they owed allegiance to the Chalukya-Cholas, they held the name 'Choda' as prefix in their names and as a mark of their respect towards their overlords.
