Do the multicultural and ancient origins, the etymology of Bunkaiia is of uncertain origin. In the notes to his translation of the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, G.W.B. Huntingford remarks that the names of Bunkaiia/Pankhaia is clearly not of Greek in origin.

There are the etymological interpretations that are hotly contested.

  1. The First is from Middle Persian بندر (bandar) meaning "Port/Enclosed area" and Persian 𐬔𐬀𐬌𐬌𐬊 [ˈɡaɪ.o] meaning “life”, thereby leading to the interpretation of "Port of Life", as it's ports were invaluable for the long-distance trade experditions taking place in Antiquity along the Monsoon trade routes.
  2. The Second is from Malayo-Polynesian banua meaning "land/village/house/country/sky/heaven" and kaya meaning force/wealth/power, thereby leading to the interpretation of "Land of Wealth", as its geographic location along the trade routes surely economically benefitted the native populace in the eyes of the intrepid traders.
  3. The Third (and most controversial) is from Proto-Ongan *baŋnan meaning "flat surface" and kaya meaning mother.
