Name of Brahmanbaria: Name of Brahmanbaria has different views. According to many, Brahmanbaria is associated with the name of Brahmanbaria, the architect of the city, the name of the so-called Kazi Mahmud Shah (R) is involved. Some have speculated that he came here between the Sixth and the 17th Century. Brahmanbaria is named after the age of seven or eight years of age.What was known as the name of this township before the name of Brahmanbaria is mysterious. But Professor Hafizuddin Ahmed mentioned the city 'Brahmanbaria', the city's former name 'Rang' without historical evidence and material facts. There are two legends about how this color city is named Brahmanbaria. During the Sena Dynasty in Bangladesh, there was no Brahmin family in this country due to the difficulties in the conduct of the worship of the Hindu community. In order to overcome this problem, King Vallal Sen brought a number of elite Brahmin families from 'Kanyukubhuj'. According to the British rule in this country, in the past, in the Brahmanbaria district, the promising Dewan family from Sarail, zamindars from other places brought some elite Brahmin families to the area for the benefit of the worship of the Hindus. A Brahmin family lived in 'Rang town' (present day Brahmanbaria city). Many people believe that Brahmanbaria has originated from Brahmin's Astana. The popular traditions related to the name of Brahmanbaria are present in the shrine of Hazrat Qazi Syed Mahmud Shah (RAH) in Kazipara Mahalla of Brahmanbaria. During this period of the time of the Mughal rule, Allah came to preach Islam in this region. The Brahmins of Brahmanbaria were disturbed by the miracle of the monk and went to Bidakut village of Nabinagar thana to apologize for their opposition. On the eve of leaving, Brahmins requested Qazi Syed Mahmud Shah (Rah) to say that they had a long time in the color city. So he should keep his memory involved in the city's name. Oli Kamel Syed Mahmud Shah (Rah) retains their request and Brahmanbaria is named Brahmanbaria from 'Brahmin going out' and 'Brahmanbaria' is named after Brahmanbaria.
