Great to meet you Tanay Sir, at this hour. I think many Bengali plant names owe their origin in Sanskrit or in other vernacular languages. Even we cannot overrule the influences of Portugese, Spanish, French etc, who once colonised Bengal. I have heard that names of many places in West Bengal have such origin, albeit with some BANGALI twist!
