According to the history of Mithila, the region of Charaut block was ruled by a king named Chor Chakbe. It is said that a stream of the Kamala River was flowing through the middle of the village. At a short distance from the bank of the river, there was a dih. The dih was known for the Yajnasthali of the King Chor Chakbe, where he used to worship and perform Yajna regularly.[5]
In the later period around 300 years ago, it was also the Sadhana Sthali of the saint named Tasmaiya Baba. He used to conduct his spiritual practices here. The Maharaja of Raj Darbhanga was very impressed by his austerity and devotion. Therefore, the Maharaja of Darbhanga donated thousands of acres of land to the saint Tasmaiya Baba. Then a matha was established in the village dedicated to Sanskrit and Vedic learning in Mithila, which is known as Charaut Matha.[5]
According to the older people of the village, the patra (vessels) used in Yajna were called chaur and hut. From these two words, the village was called Chaurhut since that time. After that the term Chaurhut gradually corrupted and presently its apbhransh name became Choraut or Charaut from the term Chaurhut.[5]
