The name of the town stems from the yesteryear name supposedly 'Kudiyetram' which literally means 'a surge in population'. There is also a myth, Karikala Cholan first cleared forest and made people habitat here so called this place 'Kudiyetram'. The supportive evidence for the myth is that the town is populated with Sengunthar community who were of Chola kingdom and other communities karuneegar, and chettiar also living in gudiyatham . The passage of time and most probably British tongues have slowly lead to the now totally incomprehensible name 'Gudiyatham'.

Many archeology excavation done in this town shows that this place was much flourished during Chola rule. Many Roman wine vase and coins were found in the periphery of this town.
