<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
The name "Shallabugh" has originated from the [[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]] words (شالہٕ بۆگ) where “Shaal” (شال), means [[golden jackal]], and “Bugh” (بۆگ), meaning garden or orchard. In Kashmiri [[toponymy]], "Bugh" is a common [[suffix]] used to denote areas associated with greenery, plantations, or cultivated land. Hence, "Shaalbugh" can be interpreted as “the garden of golden jackals.” The area is covered with dense plantations that served as a habitat for golden jackals, which preyed on [[waterfowl]] and domestic [[poultry]], often causing distress to the local population. The name eventually evolved into its Urdunised form "Shallabugh" (also spelled as "Shalla Bug") (شالہ بگ), as commonly used in administrative and written records.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bhat |first=Syed |title=Ecological Importance and Current Status of Shallabugh Wetland |url=https://www.irjmets.com/uploadedfiles/paper//issue_1_january_2025/66066/final/fin_irjmets1736497639.pdf |website=International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering Technology and Science (IRJMETS) |date=January 2025 |access-date=2025-05-25}}</ref><br />
