Agarwood is known under many names in different cultures:

• The Indonesian and Malay name is "gaharu".
• In Hindi (India), it is known as "agar", which is originally Sanskrit 'aguru' (in Bengali, it is spelled 'aguru').
• It is known as Chén-xīang (沉香) in Chinese, " trầm hương" in Vietnamese, and Jin-koh (沈香) in Japanese; all meaning "sinking incense" and alluding to its high density.
• Both agarwood and its resin distillate/extracts are known as Oud (عود) in Arabic (literally wood) and used to describe agarwood in nations and areas in Arabic countries.Western perfumers may also use agarwood essential oil under the name "oud" or "oude".
• In Europe it was referred to as Lignum aquila (eagle-wood) or Agilawood, because of the similarity in sound of agila to gaharu.
