Nakka Khurd (Urdu: نکہ خُورد), is a village in the Jhelum District of Punjab, Pakistan. Serving as the central hub for the Nakka Khurd union council within Jhelum Tehsil,[2] it is positioned 14.72 kilometers northwest of Rasul and 13.32 kilometers north of Jalalpur Sharif.[3]
Etymology
Nakka is a Punjabi language term commonly associated with the eye of a needle,[4] suggesting a narrow gateway when applied geographically.[5] This connection might stem from the village's proximity to a narrow passage among mountains where Naalah Bunhan flows. On the other hand, Khurd is a term originating from the Persian language denoting small. Used administratively in both India and Pakistan, Khurd designates the smaller section of a town, village, or settlement, typically appended after place names. Consequently, the combined village name implies the meaning of a small gateway.[6]
Geography
Nakka Khurd is located in the southwestern part of Jhelum Tehsil, situated on the plateau between the Jhelum River and the Salt Range.[2]
