词源
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 earliar Urdu variants of the name include لہاور (lahāvar /lhavr/), لوہاوور (lūhāvor /lvhavvr/) and لہانور (luhanvar /lhanvr/), among others.
