Etymology

There is no consensus about the origin of the name Jabalpur. Some scientists support the thesis, the name is based on the Arabic Jabal (Arabic: جبل, DMG Gabal ), which means mountain or hill. Another explanation is based on the term Jauli Pattala, which was found in a few post- Gupta and Kalchuri inscriptions in the region. The term refers to a one - Kalchuri ruler whose wife was from Zabulistan, city founded by people from Zabulistan to settle. Jabalpur is often called Jablipattan (Hindi: जाबालिपत्तन Jābālipattan ) or Jabalipuram (Hindi: जाबालिपुरम Jābālipuram ), named after the wise Jaabaali from the epic Ramayana.
