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. * From Punjabi لوہار (lohār, “blacksmith”) / ਲੋਹਾਰ (lohār), ਲੁਹਾਰ (luhār). * Corruption of Sanskrit रवावर (ravāvara), ultimately from इरावती (irāvatī, “the Ravi River”). The earlier Persian variants of the name include لہاور (lahāvar /lhavr/), لوہاور (lūhāvar /lvhavr/) and لہانور (luhanvar /lhanvr/), among others. Further see Etymology of Lahore.
