History of Tripura Word Origin


Bodoland G.K:  According to Kailash Chandra Singha,a prominent historian,the word Tripura is a derivation from two different Kokborok words ‘twi-pra’.Twi means water,pra means near the Tripuri language of the inhabitants of Tripura.

It is likely that the state bears the name Tripura from this fact that in ancient times the boundaries of Tripura extended up to the Bay of Bengal when it’s ruler held sway from Garo hills to Arakan.
