Toponymy[edit]

The name Hyderabad means "Hyder's abode" or "lion city", derived from the Persian/Urdu words "haydar" or "hyder" (lion) and "ābād" (city or abode).^[2] According to John Everett-Heath, the author of Oxford Concise Dictionary of World Place Names, Hyderabad was named to honour theCaliph Ali Ibn Abi Talib, who was also known as Hyder because of his lion-like valour in battles.^[2] One popular theory suggests that Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the founder of the city, named it "Bhaganagar" or "Bhāgnagar" after Bhagmati, a local nautch (dancing) girl with whom he had fallen in love.^[3] She converted to Islam and adopted the title Hyder Mahal. The city was renamed Hyderabad in her honour.^[3] According to another source, the city was named after Haidar, the son of Quli Qutb Shah.^[4] Andrew Petersen, a scholar of Islamic architecture, says the city was originally called Baghnagar (city of gardens).^[5]
