• সাতখিরা

ব্যুৎপত্তি

Corrupted from earlier সাতখইরা (possibly due to folk etymological association with ক্ষীর ~ খির (khir)), from even earlier সাতঘরিয়া (śatghoriẏa) with regressive assimilation and typical high vowel metathesis, a compound of সাতঘর (śatghor) +‎ -ইয়া (relational suffix), referring to the Satghar Kulin Brahmins who settled there. In turn, the name is a compound of সাত (“seven”) +‎ ঘর (“family, house”)। The Satghar Kulin Brahmins were from Rarha (western Bengal) and, as their name suggests, consisted of seven families: the Kesharkonis (কেশরকোনী), Rayis (রায়ী), Pitmundis (পীতমুণ্ডী), Gargaris (গড়গড়ী), Ghantas (ঘণ্টা), Kulabhis (কুলভী), and Chautkhandis (চৌৎখণ্ডী). In the late 18th century, Prananath Chakraborty brought some Brahmins from these families to this region, which was renamed after them.
