Etymology

Short form of বিলাহী বেঙেনা (bilahi beṅena), which is বিলাহী (bilahi, *English, *foreign) + বেঙেনা (beṅena, brinjal, eggplant). বিলাহী (bilahi) is from বিলাতী (bilati, English, foreign), borrowed from Persian ویلایتی (vilāyatī), from Arabic وِلايَة (wilāya). Another possibility is that বিলাহী (bilahi) is from Arabic وِلايَة (wilāya) with the Persian or Assamese adjective suffix () or -ঈ (-i) respectively. Compare Bengali বিলিতি বেগুন (biliti begun), Odia ବିଲାତି ବାଇଗଣ (bilāti bāigaṇa), Dhivehi ވިލާތު ބަށި (vilātu baṣi).
