The Koh-i-Nor is a famous diamond - what does the name mean

Mountain of Light
The Koh-i-Noor (Persian for Mountain of Light; also spelled Koh-i-Nûr and Kooh-è Noor) is a large, colourless diamond that was found near the city of Guntur, India, possibly in the 13th century.

It weighed 793 carats (158.6 g) uncut and was first owned by the Kakatiya dynasty.

The stone changed hands several times between various feuding factions in South Asia over the next few hundred years, before ending up in the possession of Queen Victoria after the British conquest of the Punjab in 1849.
