由来
  • 英语“Changi”的音译。
  • 1828年,“Changi”这个名字就已出现在当年出版的《英属新加坡规划图》(Plan of the British Settlement of Singapore)中。“Changi”一词也作“Changhi”或“Changei”。
  • 樟宜名字的由来有几种说法。第一种说法来自新加坡植物园(Singapore Botanic Gardens)第一任园长亨利•里德利(Henry Ridley)。他认为樟宜的名字是从“Chengal”(也称“Chengai”)这种树衍生而来。“Chengal”的学名是 Neobalanocarpus heimii,也可称为 Balanscorpus heimii Balano scorpas。第二种说法是这个名称可能来自在该地区生长的攀缘灌木 Apama corymbosachangi ular
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin name “樟宜” is the transliteration of the English name “Changi”.
  • The name “Changi” appeared as early as 1828, in the “Plan of the British Settlement of Singapore” published that year. Elsewhere, the name was also written as “Changhi” or “Changei”.
  • There are several different explanations for the origins of the name “Changi”. Henry Ridley, the first director of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, believed that “Changi” was derived from the Chengal or Chengai tree (Neobalanocarpus heimii, also known as Balanscorpus heimii or Balano scorpas). Another belief is that the name was derived from the climbing shrubs known in Malay as changi ular (Apama corymbosa) that grew in the area.
