Velamas and Kammas are both of the same origin. There is no doubt about that. History proves that. They got splitted only during the period of Kakatiyas. When Ganapathi deva of Kakatiya dynasty had no sons and his only daughter Rudrama devi became the queen of kakatiya dynasty these people got split. People who are more liberal and who supported Rudrama Devi became Kammas and those who are more conservative and opposed a lady taking over the thrown of Kakatiya kingdom were Velamas. Rest is the history that everybody knows... Yes as you said kammas and velamas have some common gothrams. Ex: N.T.R 's gothram is Recharla which is same as Palnati Brahma Naidu (Is he a Velama ? or Kamma ?) Also you can see many last names/surnames for kammas and velamas look same like ending with "neni" . అన్న రామయ్య కు చిన్న రామయ్య కు అభిమానిని
