West Bengal derived its name from the historical region of Bengal, which was divided into West Bengal and East Bengal during the partition of India in 1947. The term "Bengal" itself is believed to originate from the ancient kingdom of Vanga, which existed in the area. The "West" distinguishes the Indian state from East Bengal, which became Bangladesh. Thus, West Bengal reflects both its geographic location and its cultural heritage.
