It is also mentioned in an authenticated hadith (tradition of the Messenger of Allah, Peace be upon him) that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) changed the name from Yathrib to Madinah, and prohibited anyone from using the old name.

It is possible the reason that the old name was discarded and changed is because it has such an offensive and repugnant linguistic sense.
