इसे तिक्तिरी भी कहते हैं।

यह संस्कृत शब्द 'तिक्त' से बना है जिसका अर्थ 'कड़वा' होता है।

इसका संस्कृत शब्द 'कूष्मांड' (hollowed out gourd) भी है।

हिंदी में इसे तूंबा, तूंबी, तुंबा, तुंबी, तूंबड़ा, तूंबड़ी, तूमड़ा, तूमड़ी, तोमड़ी, तुंबरी आदि भी कहते हैं। तुंब या तुंबा लौकी (gourd) को कहते हैं। यह तुंबिका (कड़ुई लौकी या कड़ुए कद्दू) से बने पात्र से बनाया जाता है।

तित्तिरि


Explanation:
The word probably is तित्तिरि, which is the manner in which steps are taken in a type of dance. This word also means तीतर or चकोर; And the word comes from the name of a saint in Yugar Veda--एक ऋषि जो कृष्णयजुर्वेद का प्रथम अध्यापक था । The musical instrument probably is named so because of its use in that particular form of dance or for the resemblance of its music with the sound of a तीतर.
