West Bengal

/wɛst bɛŋˈɡɔːl/

A state in eastern India. Capital: Kolkata (formerly Calcutta).


Hastings

The placename in England is derived from the Old English tribal name Hæstingas (“Hæsta's people, the family/followers of Hæsta”), which was later transferred to their settlement.
The family name has two possible sources:
* from the place name
* a patronymic surname derived from the Anglo-Norman personal name Hasten(c), Hastang
The later place names in other countries are named either after people with that family name, or after the town of Hastings in England.

A neighbourhood of Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
