[edit] Etymology
According to the ancient Japanese book Nihon Shoki[1] the name "Nara" derived from the Japanese verb narasu "to flatten".
Modern hypotheses suggest that it is cognate with the modern Korean word nara "country, kingdom".[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] More specifically, According to Bae HakTae(배 학태), Modern Korean nara derives from Middle Korean narah, which in turn is from reconstructed Old Korean *narak.[5] The initial na may be related to Old Goguryeo na "earth".[5] The final -ra, from -rah, from -rak may be identified as meaning "land, territory" and is also seen in other geographical places such as Nara, Gara, and Silla, the last two of which where spelled with a final k- in Old Japanese (cf, Shiraki). Also, Nara was variously written as 寧楽 and 乃楽, suggesting a reading of *naraku, also with a final k- ending.[8][9][10]
