==Name==
There is speculation about the origin of the name ''"Kandahar"''. It is believed that ''Kandahar'' bears Alexander's name, and derives from the Pashto rendering of ''Iskandariya'' or Alexandria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.livius.org/aj-al/alexandria/alexandria_arachosia.html )〕 A temple to the deified Alexander as well as an inscription in Greek and Aramaic by the emperor Ashoka, who lived a few decades later, have been discovered in the old citadel.〔http://www.livius.org/a/pakistan/shahbazgarhi/shahbazgarhi2.html〕
