Sri Lanka was formerly known as Ceylon. The name "Sri Lanka" was adopted in 1972, when the country became a republic. The name "Sri Lanka" means "resplendent island" in Sanskrit. The prefix "Sri" means "divine" or "sacred," and the word "Lanka" means "island." The name "Sri Lanka" has been used for the island since ancient times. The Indian epic poem the Ramayana mentions the island as Lanka, and the Buddhist text the Mahavamsa also refers to the island as Lanka. The name "Ceylon" was first used by the Portuguese in the 16th century. The Portuguese called the island "Ceilão," which is a Portuguese transliteration of the Sinhala word "Sīhala." The name "Ceylon" was used by the British during their rule of the island, and it remained the official name of the country until 1972. The name "Sri Lanka" is more reflective of the island's history and culture than the name "Ceylon." The name "Sri Lanka" is also more widely used by the people of the island, both Sinhalese and Tamils.
