As the town was built on the banks of the Rakhine Rhyme, the locals called the town Rakhine Wah, according to the custom of the Marma tribes. "Rakhing Wah" means the mouth of the Rakhine rhyme. Over time, Bengalis came here from the neighboring Chittagong district for trade and commerce. The market developed here on a small scale. Notably, the word "Rakhine or Rakhine" means the Arakan Province or Arakanese in the state of Burma or Myanmar. In the regional language of Chittagong, Arakan is called "Roang".
