The name
The word Arunachal is combination of two words with Arun and Aachal. Arun means Sun or the Rising Sun. Aachal means border or the age. Pradesh means province.
The name Arunachal Pradesh was not derived from any previously existing name. The state is named so because it has magnificent mountainous region of the extreme North East extending over the Eastern Himalayas at this place Sunrises very first over Hindustan.
