In Malay, Kuala Lumpur is referred to as the "muddy confluence" since lumpur is the Malay word for "mud" and kuala refers to the meeting of two rivers or an estuary. According to one theory, it was named from Sungai Lumpur, which means "muddy river"; in the 1820s, a town called Sungei Lumpoor was thought to be the most significant tin-producing settlement up the Klang River. This derivation, however, does not take into consideration the fact that Kuala Lumpur is located at the meeting point of the Gombak River and the Klang River, and as a result, it should actually be called Kuala Gombak since kualas are usually named after the river that connects a larger river or the sea.
