Trà Vinh City (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "Lang". Template:Literal translation) is the capital city of Trà Vinh province in Southern Vietnam.
Etymology
Trà Vang was an old name used for this area, a hinterland with a sparse population.[1]
In 1825, the area of Trà Vinh was established by King Minh Mạng into Lạc Hóa district also known as chà-văng or chà-vinh.[2][3]
In 1951, the name Vĩnh Trà appeared, a combination of Vĩnh from Vĩnh Long and Trà from Trà Vinh.[4]
The name was changed again from Trà Vinh to Vĩnh Binh in 1957[5] with Phú Vinh as its capital city.[6]
In 1976, Cửu Long province came to be by merging Vĩnh Long province and Trà Vinh.[7]
The name Trà Vinh comes from the Khmer name of the area ព្រះត្រពាំង Script error: No such module "Lang"., which means Sacred pond or Buddha's pond. The Vietnamese transliteration gave Trà Vang and later Trà Vinh.[8]Template:Unreliable source
