Yea, but why is polo called polo?

I'm told it originated as "Chovgan," in what's now Iran, and was popular enough (folks with the wealth and time to learn how to ride horses love showing off how well they can ride horses) that it spread across Asia. 'Polo," is from the Balti word for 'ball.' Balti is spoken in some parts of India, and it was in India that the British picked up polo.
