Senapati (Meitei pronunciation:/se.na.pə.ti/^[a]^[1]), known locally as Tahamzam, is the district headquarters of Senapati district in the Indian state of Manipur.

Etymology

Senapati is named after Tikendrajit Singh, a member of the royal family of Manipur. He was also the Senapati or "Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Army". During British invasion in the state, Tikendrajit Singh fought bravely but was later captured and publicly hanged. Senapati is named after him, for fighting against the invaders.^{[citation needed]}

The name Tahamzam originates from the Maram Naga dialect which literally means "Hill of Butterflies".^[3]
