Name
According to Paul Whalley, the name Jājmaū may be related to Sanskrit yajña, meaning "sacrifice", which became Old Hindi jaj. It could have gotten this name because the site was originally given to a priest who performed a sacrifice. The ending -maū could come from Sanskrit maryādā, meaning "shore" or "bank", or it could be a contraction of the name of the mahuā tree.[1]Template:Rp

History
The archaeological site of Jajmau is a large mound on the banks of Ganges river, known as the Jajmau ka tila.[2] Copper hoard artefacts and Painted Grey Ware (PGW) sherds were found from the surface deposits of the mound. In 1956, at the time of the construction of the national highway and Jajamu bridge, remains of an ancient settlement were discovered there. Excavations were carried out by the Archaeological Survey of India and the Uttar Pradesh State Archaeology Department in 1956–58 and 1973–78. During the excavations in 1977–78, an ivory seal with Vasalas inscribed in Brahmi was found. A historian, Girish Chandra Singh, said that Vasalas is an epithet of the ancient Maurya emperor Chandragupta.[3]
