The term 'Ekaparnika' is derived from the Sanskrit words 'Eka' meaning 'one' and 'Parnika' meaning 'boat'. It is believed to have originated in the Mahabharata epic, where it is mentioned as the name of a chariot that was shaped like a boat and had only one wheel. This chariot was used by the Pandava prince Bhima during the Kurukshetra war. The significance of the name lies in the fact that the chariot was unique in its design, just like Bhima who was the strongest and most unique among his brothers.
