Gama and its variations and related terms such as Gamu, Gam, Gamen, Gammānē, Gaň and Gan are perhaps the most popular toponymic components belonging to a single etymon found in a large number of Sinhala place names in the island.

The word Gama meaning village, and its different grammatical forms associated to village, could be found in a number of early Brahmi inscriptions of the island associated with Buddhism, attesting to the introduction of the term at least a little before the dawn of the Common Era.

Gama corresponds to Gāma in Pali/ Prakrit and in turn to Grāma, which in Rig Vedic Sanskrit meant troop as well as village (CDIAL 4368).

The forms Kāmam and Kam are found in some Eezham Tamil place names numbering around 20. These forms also have their own historicity as Kāmam (as in Vela/ Vēla-kāmap-paḷḷi) could be found in Eezham Tamil inscriptions dating atleast from 11 century CE.

Since Gama has become the standard word for village in Sinhala, a large number of new place names and colony names also have the suffix Gama in them. They could be differentiated without much difficulty. Obviously recent Gama-related place names are avoided in the list given below.

See the boxes above for explanations on the other toponymic terms related to Gama.

* * *

Usage of Gama in an early Brahmi inscription:

"Maṭuka gama bujhike parumaka Ti[śa]

Gutaya leṇe" (early Brahmi inscription, IC, Vol I, no. 837)

The cave of (donated by) the chief (Parumaka) Tiśa-guta, proprieter of Maṭuka-gama (village)

The term Kaňkānam found with dental N in the place name is usually written in Sinhala with the palatal Ṇ, as Kaňkāṇam or Kaňkāṇi (Sorata). The terms meaning a supervisor in Sinhala correspond to Kaṇkāṇi, Kaṅkāṇi and Kaňkāṇam, meaning supervision or supervisor in Tamil. Among the Tamil usages, the first one is seen in literature dating from c. 6th century CE; the first two are widely noticed in inscriptions dating from 8th century CE to mean supervision/ supervisor of accounts and various work, and the last one is mostly a spoken form. The terms are phrases coming from Kaṇ meaning eye and Kāṇ meaning to see in Tamil/ Dravidian (DED 1159+1443).

* * *

The word Ḷa means young or small in Sinhala. Iḷa in Tamil meaning the same has cognates in 18 Dravidian languages (DED 513). Iḷa is a common word in Tamil, widely found used in that form since Caṅkam times. It is also recorded in early Tamil Brahmi inscriptions. But interestingly, in some Tamil Brahmi inscriptions slightly later in time, the initial vowel 'I' is absent. Mahadevan who read the inscriptions notes that probably the initial vowel 'I'was elided in speech. Ḷa is the word form in Dhevehi/ Maldivian also.

* * *

Example of Iḷa coming as Ḷa in Tamil Brahmi inscription:

"பெருங் கடுங் கோன் மகன் ளங் கடுங் கோ" (Tamil Brahmi inscription, Pukaḻur, Mahadevan, 2003, p. 405)

"Peruṅ kaṭuṅ kōn makaṉ ḷaṅ kaṭuṅ kō" (Tamil Brahmi inscription, Pukaḻur, Mahadevan, 2003, p. 405)

Ḻaṅ Kaṭuṅ Kō [Iḷaṅ Kaṭuṅ Kō], son of Peruṅ Kaṭuṅ Kōṉ

* * *

The prefix Brẹnḍi as found in the place name Brẹnḍi-gampala is the spoken form of Brāńḍi meaning the deity Bhairava in Sinhala (Vayiravar in Tamil).

There is another related term Barāńḍi in Sinhala, which means the eight forms of Bhairava and Barāńḍi-kōvil is Bhairava temple, notes Sorata.

The eight forms noted by him as denoted by the term Barāńḍi are: Mahā-bhairava, Saňhāra-bhairava, Asitāńḍaga-bhairava, Ruru-bhairava, Kāla-bhairava, Krōdha-bhairava, Tāmracūḍa-bhairava and Rudra-bhairava.

The word form Barāńḍi has probably come from: Bhairava-āṇḍi > Bairāṇḍi > Barāńḍi. See box above.
