Kochi

Kochi (), also known as Cochin (), is a major port city on the south west coast of India by the Laccadive Sea and is part of the district of Ernakulam in the state of Kerala. Kochi is often called Ernakulam, which refers to the mainland part of the city. In Kerala, the corporation of Kochi (pop. 601,574) is the second largest city and is part of an extended metropolitan region (pop. 2.1 million), which is the largest urban agglomeration in the state.

Known as the ''Queen of the Arabian Sea'', Kochi was an important spice trading centre on the west coast of India from the 14th century. Occupied by the Portuguese Empire in 1503, Kochi was the first of the European colonies in colonial India. It remained the main seat of Portuguese India until 1530, when Goa was chosen instead. The city was later occupied by the Dutch and the British, with the Kingdom of Cochin becoming a princely state. Kochi ranks first in the total number of international and domestic tourist arrivals in Kerala.〔http://www.keralatourism.org/destination-wise-foreign-2010.pdf〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.keralatourism.org/tourismstatistics/Tourist-Statistics2008.pdf )〕 Kochi has been ranked the sixth best tourist destination in India according to a survey conducted by the Nielsen Company on behalf of the Outlook Traveller magazine.〔() Kerala best Destination〕 Kochi was one of the 28 Indian cities found to be among the emerging 440 global cities that will contribute 50% of the world GDP by the year 2025, in a study done by McKinsey Global Institute.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/McKinsey/dotcom/Insights%20and%20pubs/MGI/Research/Urbanization/Urban%20world%20mapping%20economic%20power%20of%20cities/MGI_urban_world_mapping_economic_power_of_cities_full_report.ashx )

==Toponymy==
Ancient travellers and tradesmen referred to Kochi in their writings, variously alluding to it as ''Cocym'', ''Cochym'', ''Cochin'', and ''Kochi''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.corporationofcochin.net/Cochin.pdf )〕 The Cochin Jewish community called Cochin as Kogin (קוגין), which is seen in the seal of the synagogue〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fort And Harbour )〕 which is still owned by the community. The origin of the name "Kochi" is thought to be from the Malayalam word ''kochu azhi'', meaning 'small lagoon'. Yet another theory is that Kochi is derived from the word ''Kaci'' meaning 'harbour'. Accounts by Italian explorers Nicolo Conti (15th century), and Fra Paoline in the 17th century say that it was called ''Kochchi'', named after the river connecting the backwaters to the sea. After the arrival of the Portuguese, and later the British, the name Cochin stuck as the official appellation. The city reverted to a closer Anglicization of its original Malayalam name, ''Kochi'', in 1996. This change in name was challenged by the city municipal corporation and officially, the city is still called "Cochin" ( Corporation of Cochin ).
