I do not know, for neither Roxburgh nor Voigt provided any Bengali name. The name, in English script, can be found in Haines and Prain though.
A story goes : One SAHIB, in those British days, asked his orderly what is the Bengali of "Close the door?" The orderly replied, "DARJA BANDHO KARO." The SAHIB remarked, "Got it, There-was-a brown crow!" "RAM" usually denotes to anything bigger, as in RAM-TULSI. RAMJANI may also translate to "Nobody knows!" or "I do not know!"
