commonly known as: common lime, key lime, sour lime • Assamese: চকলা টেঙা sokola tenga • Bengali: কাগজি লেবু kagji lebu • Gujarati: લીંબુ limbu • Hindi: कागज़ी नींबू kaghzi-nimbu, खट्टा नींबू khatta nimbu • Kannada: ಲಿಂಬೆ limbe • Konkani: लिंबियॉ limbiyaw • Malayalam: വടുകപ്പുളി നാരകം vadukappuli narakam • Manipuri: চম্প্ৰা champra • Marathi: अंबटनिंबू ambatnimbu, कागदी निंबू kagadi nimbu, लिंबू limbu • Odia: କାଗଜି ଲେମ୍ବୁ kagaji lembu, ଲେମ୍ବୁ lembu • Punjabi: ਕਾਗਜੀ ਨਿੰਬੂ kagaji nimbu, ਨਿੰਬੂ nimbu • Sanskrit: निम्बूक nimbuka • Tamil: எலுமிச்சை elumiccai • Telugu: నిమ్న nimma • Tulu: ಲಿಂಬೆಪುಳಿ limbepuli


botanical names: Citrus × aurantiifolia (Christm.) Swingle ... synonyms: Citrus amblycarpa (Hassk.) Ochse • Citrus medica f. aurantiifolium (Christm.) M.Hiroe • Limonia acidissima Houtt. • Limonia × aurantiifolia Christm. ... and many more at POWO
Trivia:
• aurantiifolia found also spelled as aurantifolia (with a single i)
• this is Citrus hybrid ... perhaps (C. hystrix × C. medica) or (C. micrantha × C. medica), yet often found written as Citrus aurantiifolia (Christm.) Swingle
• being an hybrid arising from C. medica, many of the vernacular names of C. acida (synonym of C. medica) are found used for Citrus × aurantiifolia
• vernacular names seem to be liberally shared for both: lime and lemon, as well as their many varieties; though when in need of being specific, adjectives are used colloquially

Deae Dinesh ji,
The Kannada name   ಲಿಂಬೆ  and English transliteration limbe  are correct.   However,  it's more common Kannada name, rather correct form  is NImbe ( Nimbe kayi or Nimbe hannu) .   If you want you may incorporate.
Thanks & Regards,
M.Swamy
