A friend once told me that the villages of Loutolim (Lott'li) and Cortalim (Kut'thal) were named after the twin sons of Lord Ram -- Lav and Kush.
Is there any truth in this, or does it just reflect the tendency of Sanskrit promoters and votaries to see almost every name they encounter (or a slanted version of it) as in some way connected with some Sanskrit name? While surfing the Net today, I came across a claim that almost every other country in the South Asian region (and beyond) had names infuenced by Sanskrit: http://gk.queryhome.com/8338/countries-names-origin-from-sanskrit-word What do you think?
