What’s the difference between Vadodara and Baroda? And other stations that have changed names.

July 19, 2019, 12:53 PM

Many towns have changed names over the years. In many cases the change in the spelling of a place stems from a desire for the name to more closely reflect the pronunciation of the name in the local language. Older spellings were generally assigned in the Roman script by the British and in some cases did not correspond closely to the spoken version of the name.

The list below gives several instances of changed names. The column on the left is the IR spelling of the name today. In many cases (especially for places in Kerala, the spelling on the right (the non-railway spelling) is actually newer, being used everywhere except in railway contexts).

Alleppey — Alappuzha
Balasore — Baleshwar
Bardhhaman — Burdwan
Bharuch — Broach
Brahmapur — Berhampur
Calicut — Kozhikode
Cannanore — Kannur
Chengalpattu — Chingleput
Cochin — Kochi
Chennai — Madras
Guwahati — Gauhati
Jalandhar — Jullender
Kolkata — Calcutta
Mumbai — Bombay
Palghat — Palakkad
Pune — Poona
Quilon — Kollam
Sewagram — Wardha East
Sridham — Gotegoan
Srirampur — Serampore
Tarangambadi — Tranquebar
Tellicherry — Thalasseri
Thiruchchirapalli — Trichinopoly
Trichur — Trissur
Trivandrum — Thiruvananthapuram
Udhagamandalam — Ootacamund (Ooty)
Vadodara — Baroda
Varanasi — Benares
Vasai — Bassein
Vijayawada — Bezwada
Vishakhapatnam — Waltair
