Etymology

From ताम्र (tāmra, “copper”) +‎ पर्ण (parṇa, “leaf”) +‎ -ई (-ī).

Some suppose the "town in Sri Lanka" sense to be a hypercorrect form of *ताम्रवर्णी (tāmravarṇī, literally “copper-coloured”), but the Ashokan Prakrit forms make this problematic.

Pronunciation

(Classical) IPA^(key): /t̪ɑːm.ɾɐˈpɐɾ.ɳiː/

Proper noun

ताम्रपर्णी • (tāmraparṇī) f
