Lahore

Etymology

Borrowed from Urdu لاہَور (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]

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /ləˈhɔːr/

Proper noun

Lahore

The second largest city of Pakistan and the provincial capital of Punjab; located on the Ravi river
Synonyms: (historical) Lohkot, Mahmoodpur
