Nitpick: The village name is "Snapdeal.com Nagar". Not just Snapdeal.com. I guess it's the difference between 'Orange' and 'Orange County'.

Actually, the original name of the village used to be "Shiv Nagar" (written in brackets in hindi).

So changing Shiv Nagar to Snapdeal.com Nagar is good enough i guess.

Nagar is a suffix just like county.

Nagar means City/Village in Hindi which originally comes from Sanskrit "nagaram"
