Temasek

(重定向自Tumasek)
A Mao Kun map from Wubei Zhi which is based on the early 15th century navigation maps of Zheng He showing Temasek (淡馬錫) at the top left.

Temasek ('Sea Town' in Old Javanese, pronounced Tumasik) was the earliest recorded name of a settlement on the site of modern Singapore. It is written as 淡马锡 in Chinese (pronounced Danmaxi in Mandarin). From the 14th century, the island has also been known as Singapura, which is derived from Sanskrit and means "Lion City". Legend has it that the name was given by Sang Nila Utama when he visited the island in 1344 and saw an unknown creature, which looked like a lion.
