I also have heard these names mentioned only in that context. Gona Ganna Reddy, I have heard mentioned as one of the works of a major classical writer in the last century.
Could it be that they are mostly the names of local gods, specifically the gramadevatas?
The reason I ask is: Potana calls himself Potharaju in the Bhagavatam. Even today, in Telangana, Potharaju is the name of a local God.
