The story

- Bengali · derived from-ঈ
- Arabic · derived fromمَدَار“orbit”
- English todayMadaripur District
Named after the saint-preacher Shah Madar; thus ultimately a trilingual compound of Arabic مَدَار (madār, “orbit”) + Bengali -ঈ (-i, adjectival suffix) + Sanskrit पुर (pura, “fortress, town”). The Bengali suffix itself is influenced by both Sanskrit and Arabic
