==Etymology==
The modern Marathi language developed from the Maharashtri Prakrit, and the word ''Mahratta'' (later used for the Marathas) is found in the Jain Maharashtri literature. The terms Maharashtra, Maharashtri, Marathi and Maratha may have derived from the same root. However, their exact etymology is uncertain. The Nashik Gazetteer states that in 246 BC Maharatta is mentioned as one of the places to which Mauryan emperor Ashoka sent an embassy, and Maharashtraka is recorded in a Chalukyan inscription of 580 CE as including three provinces and 99,000 villages. But the Marathas as a people do not seem to be mentioned before the thirteenth or fourteenth century.〔Sir H. Risley's India Census Report (1901), Ethnographic Appendices, p. 93.〕
The most widely accepted theory among the linguistic scholars is that the words Maratha and Maharashtra ultimately derive from a combination of ''Maha'' ((マラーティー語:महा)) and ''rashtrika'' ((マラーティー語:राष्ट्रिका)).〔 The word ''rashtrika'' is a Sanskritized form of Ratta, the name of a tribe or dynasty of petty chiefs ruling in the Deccan region. Another theory is that the term is derived from ''Maha'' ("great") and ''ratha'' / ''rathi'' (chariot / charioteer), which refers to a skillful northern fighting force that migrated southward into the area.〔
An alternative theory states that the term derives from the word ''Maha'' ("great") and ''Rashtra'' ("nation/dominion"). However, this theory has not found acceptance among modern scholars who believe it to be the Sanskritised interpretation of later writers.〔
