Proper name

IPA: /pʊt̪ːɐɭɐm/
Etymology: Uncertain; there are multiple theories, which includes உப்பு (uppu, “salt”) + தளம் (taḷam, “area, place”). When Sheikh Ibn Battuta landed in the Puttalam lagoon in 1344, he apparently mentioned a city called Pattala? in the area in his work, commonly known as al-Rihla. This town, as well as Puttalam district, was traditionally a Tamil area, which is why many of the place-names and rivers in the area have Tamil names.
