Chhatak Upazila
Chhatak ( bn, ছাতক) is an upazila of the Sunamganj District in Sylhet Division, Bangladesh. It is named after its headquarters, the town of Chhatak. Etymology According to the majority of researchers including Dewan Mohammad Azraf, the area got its name from ''chhātā'', the Bengali word for umbrella. It is said that upon the founding of a haat bazaar in such a rain-prone area, shopkeepers and shoppers would arrive with umbrellas and use umbrellas to prevent rain from falling on their fruits and crops. The area would be filled with umbrellas which later caused the market to be known as ''Chhātār Bazār'' (Umbrella's Market). Over time, it became corrupted into ''Chhātak Bazār''. On the other hand, Monir Uddin Chowdhury asserted that ''Chhātak'' was actually corrupted from ''Chhatrāk'', the word for an umbrella holder. He added that the area was first settled by a group of ''Chhatrāk''s who used to serve the local ruler. History After the Conquest of Srihatta in 1 ...

Villages Of Bangladesh
A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. In Bangladesh, a village is the smallest territorial and social unit for administrative and representative purposes.

Its origins seem to come from the Sanskrit words শিলা ''śilā'' (meaning 'stone') and হট্ট ''haṭṭa'' (meaning 'marketplace'). These words match the landscape and topography of the hilly region.
