[edit] Ratnapura

//The modern name is derived from the Portuguese name Rapadura for jaggery, the palm candy produced traditionally in this region.// can you give tha source for this line at Ratnapura talk page.--Terrance 03:25, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

The modern name is supposed to be derived from Ratna+Pura, Ratna a Pali word for Gems and Pura=city, hence the fanciful derivation, 'city of gems'. Although it seems quite logical in modern Sinhalese there is no historical basis for such a derivation. The name originates in Portuguese times.--Wikramadithya 05:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
