Khandallah
Khandallah is a suburb of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. It is located northeast of the city centre, on hills overlooking Wellington Harbour.
==Origin of the name==
The suburb's name, which supposedly means "Resting place of God" in an unspecified language,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=How the suburb of Khandallah was named )〕 is said to come from a homestead built in the area in 1884 by Captain James Andrew, who had recently returned from duty in India. Khandallah is named after Khandela, Rajasthan. For this reason the suburb and those surrounding it have many place names connected with the Indian subcontinent. When the railway was laid through the area by the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company, Andrew is reported as insisting that the railway station be named ''Khandallah'' with the ''h'' on the end of the name.
However Edward Battersbee (also spelt Battersby) was listed in the 1864-1865 Province of Wellington electoral roll as living at Khandallah, Porirua Road on 23 April 1864 some 20 years earlier than Andrew. In addition Battersby had worked for the East India Company, thereby making him the more likely originator of the suburbs name. In January 1868 Battersbee placed his 450-acre property, named in the advertisement as ''Khrandalah'', on the market for sale. When the formation of Onslow Borough was proposed in 1889, Khandallah was already described as a District.
