Anantapadmanābha (अनन्तपद्मनाभ) is the name of an incarnation of Viṣṇu, according to the ԲԳٲśⲹԲṣeٰٳⲹ, a text talking about the Thiruvananthapuram temple in eleven chapters, written before the 14th century and claiming to be part of the Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa.—In the eighth chapter, we see Divākaramuni requesting Viṣṇu to transform his Anantapadmanābha incarnation into a form in which he can be conveniently worshipped. Viṣṇu agrees to this request and the sage constructs a temple for Padmanābha, where he may venerate him daily.
