The old name of Rawalpindi city is "Sadar".
Rawalpindi, a major city in Pakistan, was historically known as "Sadar" before it was officially renamed to "Rawalpindi" in the early 20th century.
The name "Sadar" is derived from the Persian word "Sadr," which translates to "head" or "chief."
This name reflected the city's importance as a regional administrative center during the Mughal and British periods.
While "Rawalpindi" is the commonly used name today, "Sadar" is still sometimes used by older residents or in historical contexts.
