The Name, Dongala Dharmaram came to this village because of the big forest just adjacent to the Dharmaram village. During the olden days there was a big troops of robbers used to get shelter in the forest of Dharmaram, they used to sleep in the day time and in the nights they used to attack the nearby surrounding villages. These robbery mobs quickly got popular and used to call them as 'dongalu in dharmaramadavi' and the village got the name as Dongala Dharmaram, though there was actually no thief or robbers from this village.
