Coramandel?

A tempo carrier whizzed past as I was standing at the bus stop yesterday. It belonged to "Coramandel Transport". Or was it Coramandal? It went a bit too fast for my eye, but I saw the Cora part at least.
We have the Coromandel coast and Coromandel Express (train to Calcutta) but Coramandel? It cant be numerolgy that warranted the change of spelling. Like the way many Indians do these days to improve luck. Like Jayalalithaa - an extra "a" for that extra bit of luck at least in the elections next time for the former TN Chief Minister.
