Documented history: consult the claims and qualifications in the cited sources.

TNAU identifies Neelum as indigenous to Tamil Nadu. It is also a parent of Mallika and Amrapali, giving this older southern variety a second life in modern breeding.

Neelum and Neelam are familiar spellings. Its original naming occasion is not established in the sources checked here; the secure story is a Tamil Nadu mango whose descendants have travelled widely.
