Called by the name 'Saiha' by the mizos, Siaha is one of the largest towns in Mizoram and is situated in the southern most part of the state. The word ‘Saiha’ comes from the local Mara language word ‘Siaha’ and the word can be broken into two – ‘Sai’ means elephant and ‘ha’ means tooth – thus Saiha means the elephant tooth because It was a place where a large amount of elephant teeth were found.
