The Jaffna Peninsula ((タミル語:யாழ்ப்பாண குடாநாடு Yalpana Kuthanadu)) is an area in Northern Province, Sri Lanka. It is home to the capital city of the province, Jaffna and comprises much of the former land mass of the medieval Jaffna kingdom. ==Toponymy==
The ancient name for the Jaffna peninsula was Nāka-Tivu and Nāka-Nadu, meaning Nāka island (Tivu) or country (Nadu), mentioned in the Vallipuram gold plate inscriptions and the ''Manimekalai.''〔Peter Shalk. SERENDIPITY - ISSUE 02 - THE VALLIPURAM BUDDHA IMAGE - AGAIN〕 It is also called Nagadipa or Naka-diva, mentioned in the Mahavamsa. Cīttalai Cāttanār, the author of the ''Manimekalai'' reflected Tamilakam's perception at the time that Nāka-Nadu was an autonomous administrative entity, kingdom or ''nadu'', distinguished and separate from Ilankatipam, (also referred to as Irattinatipam) - Lanka.〔
