In the name of Singapura.


These are just possibilities how Singapura got its name. The naming may be even earlier than what we've expected, given by the Pelembang Prince 'Sang Nila Utama'.

1. Singgah Pura - Sri Wijaya (tempat menyembah)
2. Singa Pura - Parameswara 
3. Simha Pura - Sanskrit
4. Sengka pho - Chinese
5. Sit la̍t po - Orang Seletar (selat)
6. Shōnantō - Jepun (pulau mutiara)
7. Sing Ngapura (Jawa) 
8. Sangga Fora (Arab)
