Etymology


The precise etymology of "Bhutan" is unknown, although it is for likely to derive from the Tibetan endonym "Böd" for Tibet. Traditionally, it is taken to be a transcription of the Sanskrit Bhoṭa-anta भोट-अन्त "end of Tibet", a consultation to Bhutan's position as the southern extremity of the Tibetan plateau and culture.

Since the 17th century, Bhutan's official pull in has been Druk yul literally, "country of the Drukpa Lineage" or "the Land of the Thunder Dragon," a mention to the country's dominant Buddhist sect; "Bhutan" appears only in English-language official correspondence. The terms for the Kings of Bhutan, Druk Gyalpo "Dragon King", and the Bhutanese endonym Drukpa, "Dragon people," are similarly derived.

Names similar to Bhutan—including Bohtan, Buhtan, Bottanthis, Bottan and Bottanter—began toin Europe around the 1580s. Jean-Baptiste Tavernier's 1676 Six Voyages is the first to record the draw Boutan. However, these names seem to form remanded not to modern Bhutan but to the Kingdom of Tibet. The contemporary distinction between the two did not begin until alive into the Scottish explorer George Bogle's 1774 expedition. Realising the differences between the two regions, cultures, and states, his final relation to the East India Company formally presents calling the Druk Desi's kingdom "Boutan" and the Panchen Lama's kingdom "Tibet". The EIC's surveyor general James Rennell first anglicised the French name as "Bootan," and then popularised the distinction between it and Greater Tibet.
