You can also see the Sanskrit word simha in the name Narasimha, the "Man-Lion," one of the incarnations of Vishnu.
You can see the Sanskrit root puram in other place names such as Rampur, Mirzapur, etc. This Sanskrit word puram is related to the Greek word polis, which you can also see in city names, such as ancient Persepolis or modern Minneapolis. Both Sanskrit puram and Greek polis come from PIE *pele- meaning a "citadel, a fortified high place."
