Princess Street

One theory: the name traces to pirate William Kidd, nicknamed Prince.

Street

Princess Street is one of Fort Kochi's best-known old streets, lined with cafés, guesthouses, shops, and colonial-era buildings. It may never have had a princess: one local theory says the name evolved from “Prince's Street”, linked to the pirate William Kidd, who was nicknamed Prince. The story is a theory, not settled history, but it gives the street a memorable name.
