This person was originally slated to be christened Mary after her grandmother- How do we better know this unblemished pure soul?

Asin was going to be called by another name - Mary. Asin Thottumkal's father was keen to name her Mary, after her grandmother. But then finally called her Asin, a name that means 'pure' or 'blemishless'.

Talking about names... interestingly a dam next to her house is called Asin dam. Now which was inspired by which is yet to be known.
