ජන්බුද්දීප - Janbuddeepa

What is Janbuddeepa? Janbuddeepa is the country where Lord Buddha was born and preached his Dhamma. That is Jambudvipa and it was ancient India. It seems like you have misspelled the word? Although it is the most widely believed version of the word, it has not much meaning. Jambu - A fruit (Syzygium cumini) Dvipa - An island (in Sanskrit) So 'Jambudvipa' translates into "the island of Jambu trees". But India is clearly not an island and it was never full of Jambu trees at any time of the history. It is absurd to assume that such a big landmass was named after a one tree.
