The Origin of the Name "Malaysia"
The name "Malaysia" holds an interesting historical origin. It is derived from the word "Melayu" or "Malay," which itself traces its roots to "Sungai Melayu" (Melayu River) in Sumatra.
The river's name, in turn, comes from the Dravidian word "Malai," which means "hill." This intriguing linguistic journey contributes to the country's name.
