Meaning of word Chinglai:

There are two theories about name of Chinglai among the locals. One is saying that word Chinglai was originated from China-gali means that a village built nearer to a water source or water spring. Other say that it is Cheen-gali. Cheen means China and Gali means Path or Road. To prove the second theory people present the name of Darand a pass that connect valley of Chinglai to Regions of Swabi. According to these people Darand is short form of Dara-e-Hind, means road or path leading to India. Since the first one has no such proof so at this time it is more acceptable as compared to the first one.
