The name Madras is also of native origin, and has been shown to have been in use before the British established a presence in India.[37] A Vijayanagar-era inscription dated to the year 1367 that mentions the port of Mādarasanpattanam, along with other small ports on the east coast, was discovered in 2015 and it was theorised that the aforementioned port is the fishing port of Royapuram.[38] According to some sources, Madras is derived from Madraspattinam, a fishing village north of Fort St George.[39] However, it is uncertain whether the name was in use before the arrival of Europeans.[40] British military mapmakers believed Madras was originally Mundir-raj or Mundiraj, which was the name of a Telugu community, Mudiraj, who were the native inhabitants of the city.[41][42]
