yderabad also known as Bhagya Nagaram(Bhagya-wealth,nagaram-city:TELUGU). Theories explaining the origins and etymology behind Hyderabad's name differ. A popular theory suggests that after founding the city, Muhammad Quli fell in love with and married a local Banjara girl known as Bhagamathi. He named this city after her as Bhagyanagaram. Upon her conversion to Islam, Bhagamathi changed her name to Hyder Mahal and the new city's name was correspondingly changed to match it, resulting in the eponymous name Hyderabad (literally, "the city of Hyder").[2Hyderabad pronunciation (help·info) or Haydarābād /haɪd̪əraːbaːd̪/ (Telugu: హైదరాబాదు,Urdu: حیدر آباد , Hindi: हैदराबाद) is the capital city of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
