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. 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]
