Meaning & History
Meaning uncertain, though one theory suggests an origin from Tibetan བོད (Bod), referring to the present-day region of Tibet in China, which ultimately derives from Sanskrit भोट-अन्त (Bhoṭa-anta) meaning "end of Tibet", relating to Bhutan's geographical position as the southern extremity of the Tibetan plateau. Bhutan is a landlocked nation in the Himalayas of Asia.
