The name Punjab is derived from the Persian language. There are two Persian words in the word “Punjab”. The word “panj” means five, and the word “ab” means water.
Therefore, there are 5 rivers in it. The five rivers of Punjab, which flows through the state, are Jhelum, Chenab, Beas, Sutlej and Ravi.

Punjab is known as the “land of five rivers” because the five tributaries of Indus river, namely, Ravi, Chenab, Jhelum, Sutlej and Beas flow through the state.
Because these five rivers flow through the state, the name is Punjab.
But the Indus river, whose tributaries are the above-mentioned rivers, does not flow through the state.
