Moyna, Purba Medinipur
Moyna (referred to as Dakshin Moyna in census records) is a village in Moyna CD block in Tamluk subdivision of Purba Medinipur district in the state of West Bengal, India.

Similarly, there are various complications about the origin of the name. Setting aside these controversies, we can take up certain points from comparatively more recent history.

The British Raj mostly retained the administrative structure of the preceding Mughal Empire. India was divided into provinces (also called Presidencies), directly governed by the British, and princely states, which were nominally controlled by a local prince or raja loyal to the British Empire, which held ''de facto'' sovereignty ( suzerainty) over the princely states. 1947–1950 Between 1947 and 1950 the territories of the princely states were politically integrated into the Indian union.
