Location of the Nawabganj District

Etymology

[edit]

Named after the nawabs of Bengal; thus ultimately a bilingual compound of Arabic نواب (“representative, deputy”) + Persian گنج (“treasury, store”).

The alternative name "Chapainawabganj" (Bengali: চাঁপাইনবাবগঞ্জ) comes from prefixing the discussed term with চাঁপাই (cãpai).

Proper noun

[edit]
