==Etymology== From a [[Indian copper plate inscriptions|copper plate inscription]] found at [[Washim]], a town approximately {{convert|150|km|mi}} north of Nanded, archaeologists deduce the city was formerly known as {{IAST|Nanditaṭa}} ({{langx|mr|नंदितट}}).{{citation needed|date=April 2024}} Another name was {{IAST|Nandigrāma}}.<ref>[https://www.nandedairport.co.in/web/nanded-airport/about-nanded-city Nanded City] Nanded airport Corporation website.</ref>{{Better source needed|date=April 2024}} Folklore suggests that the name "Nanded" developed from {{IAST|Nandi}} the [[Vahana]] of [[Shiva]]. Shiva was said to have performed penance on the banks ({{IAST|Taṭa}}) of the Godavari river. This "{{IAST|Nandi-taṭa}}" later became "Nanded".{{citation needed|date=April 2024}}
