==Etymology==
The origin of the name appears to have different sources. The name possibly originates from the Sanskrit word ''Purna–Aranya'', which stands for "complete jungle". ''Purnia'' could be an altered form of the old name ''Purania'', derived from the word ''purain'' or Lotus, which is said to have grown on the Kosi and Mahananda rivers. This derivation is stated by O'Malley and is also in the old gazetteer. An alternative could be a derivation from the words ''Pur Aranya''. W.W. Hunter and Buchanan have mentioned the name of Purnia, it being a forested area, using combination of the words ''purn'' (full) and ''aranya'' (forest).
The name of Purnia's 600-year-old temple of Mata Puran Devi (Kali), located about outside the city, is believed to be the name origin of Purnia.
