"...is an alternate name for the Nāga, a non-Indo-Iranian people of ancient India."
Literally Taksha or Tokkho or Tokkhok means snake. Another word for snake is Naga or Nag. Thus the name would literally mean Snake Rock or Naga Rock supporting the above statement.

The city was known by the name of Takshashila, Taxila is a Greek pronunciation(?), and was probably used by Greek writers who never visited India. Shouldn't the article bear its actual name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronitd (talk • contribs) 11:11, 12 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
This kind of logic is why I have stopped contributing to Wikipedia, both time-wise and money-wise. There's an army of people defending the Anglicization of terminology that was never correct in the first place. Why they feel their antecedants are Greeks is another mystery. Nehru has written a whole book about it. Suit yourself regentspark, suit yourself. The greeks could never find the lingual dexterity to say "takshashila" and I bet, neither can you. 216.228.127.129 (talk) 00:54, 7 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
On point.
In fact, I can provide references to scholarly sources that use "Takshashila" over "Taxila." For instance:
"The History of Ancient India" by H.C. Raychaudhuri
"Takshashila: An Ancient Center of Learning" by C.P. Ghosh
"A History of Sanskrit Literature" by A.A. Macdonell
"The Cambridge History of India" (Volumes on Ancient India)
