Nakka Khurd
Nakka Khurd, is a village in the Jhelum District of Punjab, Pakistan. Serving as the central hub for the Nakka Khurd union council within Jhelum Tehsil, it is 14.72 kilometers northwest of Rasul and 13.32 kilometers north of Jalalpur Sharif.
Etymology
Nakka is a Punjabi language term commonly associated with the eye of a needle, suggesting a narrow gateway when applied geographically. 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.''
Geography
Nakka Khurd is located in the southwestern part of Jhelum Tehsil, situated on the plateau between the Jhelum River and the Salt Range.
