Bang Rachan District
Bang Rachan ( th, บางระจัน, ) is a district (''amphoe'') of Sing Buri province, central Thailand. Etymology The word ''bang'' is a Thai word meaning 'home', 'village', or more specifically 'river village'.

As Bang Rachan was the place of a historically important battle, perhaps this is the original meaning. Another possible connection is the Sanskrit word for king, "rajan", which may not be too far fetched since the king of Siam resided in Ayutthaya at the time of the Burmese–Siamese War (1765–1767) and could easily have visited or founded Bang Rachan, or it could even be the seat of a previous king. The history of the area is uncertain and conquerors have rewritten history intentionally several times, so the exact origin of the name is unknown.
