There are different opinions about the origin of the word "Delhi". Most people think that a man named Di Lu Lu once ruled this area. Some historians believe that "Dili" is the myth of "Dehari"; "Dehari"-Hindustan means "starting point, starting", so "Delhi" is also regarded as the beginning of Indian characteristics, such as the Indus-Ganges Plain. Another theory holds that the original name of "Delhi" is "Dhillika", and the word "dhili" in Prakri often refers to location (a noun of orientation), and "Dhili" gradually evolved into a place name "Dilli".
