India is a land of villages. Every village name has got a meaning behind it, either expressed or disguised. It must have a history. With the name of a village the ancient history of the place may be closely connected. In course of time the real significance of a name tends to be corrupted through phonological charges and, as such, it may become rather difficult to get at the true meaning of the names of the village. Most of the modern Bengali place-names which have come down to us through wear and tear or centuries have certainly changed a great deal of their original forms and sometimes it has become very difficult even to determine the proper line of their modification.
