The original name of the village was "Bomtang". In Bhot language "Bomo" बोमो means Daughter or female "Tang" तङ means "being happy". "Bomtang" was such a beautiful place that women/female used to be happy when they come here. Hence the name "Bomtang". Later as it passed on was written Bungtang(बुङताङ).
