Annur is a city in Tamilnadu, India about 32 km from Coimbatore.
The name Annur came from "Vanniyur", later transformed into Anniyur and now Annur. The myth behind the name goes like, Above 1000 years ago, when a small hunter hit a stone under a "Vanni" tree, it started bleeding. He was astonished and called the village people to look after this issue. Later they found a 'Suyambu' Lord Shiva Idol there and built a temple over there.
