The name, Nuwakot, is made up of two words 'nawa' and 'kort'. Nawa means nine in Nepali and 'kort' means sacred religious site at the top of hill. The district accordingly has 9 nine hills over which various deities are said to dwell thus overseeing and protecting Nuwakot. This has led Nuwakot often being called "City of nine hills".
