Lahore

English

Borrowed from Punjabi لہور‎ / ਲਹੌਰ (lahaur) or Hindustani لاہور‎ (lāhor) / लाहौर (lāhaur), further etymology is disputed. There are multiple interpretations of this name's origin:

A legend claims it to be from Sanskrit लव (lava, “Lava”) +‎ पुर (pura, “fortress; city”), literally “city of Lava”, from Ramayana, a Hindu epic.[1]
From Punjabi ਲੋਹਾਰ, ਲੁਹਾਰ / لوہار‎ (lohār, luhār, “blacksmith”).[2]
Corruption of Sanskrit रवावर (ravāvara), ultimately from इरावती (irāvatī, “the Ravi River”).[3]
