== Etymology ==
Assam was known as [[Pragjyotisha Kingdom|Pragjyotisha]] in the [[Mahabharata]], [[Puranas]] and historically as [[Kamarupa Kingdom|Kamarupa]] (350–1140), ana kingdom that ruled Assam for 800 years.
 
The Kamarupa kingdom disintegrated into smaller kingdoms. Subsequently one of them, the [[Kingdom of Assam]] (1228–1826), became dominant and the region came to be named after that kingdom.
