Zafar: The name Zafar appears to be derived from the Sanskrit/Hindi word ' Jayaphal' ( a dry fruit named Jaya)- a Spice( Nutmeg ) with a very sweet aroma.It is called 'Myristica fragrans'. Its seed is roasted and crushed into a fine powder which is full of fragrance. The English word 'Zephyr'- which means a soft, mild, west wind is perhaps derived from the word Zafar.Banda.krishna (talk) 04:58, 8 July 2020 (UTC)B.K.Satyanarayana[reply]

fragrans'. Its seeds are roasted and crushed into a powder the fragrance of which spreads far and wide. Perhaps this was the centre where  they used to manufacture  the powder and export the same to other countries. The English word zephyr -which means a soft and gentle wind= is perhaps derived from the sweet smelling Zafar.
