Etymology

The word Bangalore comes from the Kannada name Bengaluru, and one popular story says it began as benda-kaalu-ooru, meaning 'town of boiled beans', after a traveller was given boiled beans there. The English form Bangalore was used by visitors and traders, so both names point to the same Indian city now famous for its technology industry.
