The name Ranchi comes frae the oreeginal Oraon veelage Archi at the site.[2] Archi derives frae the Oraon wird for bamboo grove or stave. Accordin tae legend, efter an altercation wi a spirit, a farmer beat the spirit wi his bamboo stave or archi. The spirit shoutit archi, archi, archi an vanished; Archi became Rachi, and Rachi became Ranchi.[3] Up tae 1927, the place wis kent as Rachi.
