Etymology

Clipping of the Medieval variants of the name: * 那吒俱伐羅 (MC na traeH kju bjot la), * 那吒矩韈囉 (MC na traeH kjuX mjot la), Which are transcriptions of a variant of the Indian yaksha's name Nalakuvara, possibly Pali naṭakuvera; compare Sanskrit नलकुबेर (nalakubera). Nalakuvara was the son of the yaksha king Kubera, which in Chinese is 俱毗羅 (MC kju bjij la).
