The name 'Sikkim' is derived from the Limbu words 'su' (new) and 'khyim' (palace or fortress), meaning 'new palace'. This refers to the palace built by the kingdom's founder. The other states' names have different linguistic origins - Tamil Nadu relates to the Tamil people, Haryana comes from 'Hariana' (greenery), and Punjab means 'land of five waters'.
