There is not much of dispute that dravida has come from Trimili (crete). My earlier mail showed the connection between Lycia and Dravidians. the wikipedia page mentioned by you says this:
'The Lycians own name "Trm̃mi" comes from the region of Trimili which
was recently discovered on an ancient road sign in Patara excavation.
Interestingly, today a Turkish village named "Dirmil" stands on the
lands of ancient Trimili which may prove that this is the evolved name
of the land therefore the ancient Lycians.
