Bengal Wikipedia
The name of Bengal is derived from the ancient kingdom of Banga,(pronounced Bôngô) the earliest records of which date back to the Mabharata epic in the first millennium BCE. The exact origin of the word Bangla is unknown. In Islamic mythology, it is said to come from "Bung/Bang", a son of Hind (son of Hām who was a son of No) who colonised the area for the first time.
