Etymology: Unclear. Attested in the Book of Han (written c. 2nd century, referring to 1st century BCE events) as the name of a state or geographic region. Pulleyblank (1999) suggests connection with Kashmir. Later attestation in the Chinese Buddhist canon may refer to the same or a different lexical or geographic identity, for which Soothill and Hodous (1937) connect to Sanskrit कुभा (kubhā), Ancient Greek Κωφήν (Kōphḗn) (cf. Cophen, Kabul) while also mentioning the Han-era name's possible connection with Kashmir.
