Meaning. The name Punjab means "the land of five rivers", and literally translates from Persian into the words Panj (???), meaning "five", and Ab (??) meaning "water" respectively. The rivers, tributaries of the Indus river, are the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Sutlej and Beas. The five rivers, now divided between India and Pakistan, merge to form the Panjnad, which joins the Indus. .
