Was the first time the Indonesian archipelago is called by various names. In the area of homeland Tionghoa records archipelago nation called the Nan-hai (the South Sea Islands). Various ancient records of India, named the islands Dwipantara Islands (Land opposite), a name derived from the Sanskrit word Dwipa (island) and between (outside, opposite).

Stories Walmiki Ramayana saga tells the search for Sprott, Ravana kidnapped Rama's wife, came to Suwarnadwipa (Island of Gold, which is now Sumatra) located in Dwipantara Islands. Arabs called the area that later became al-Jawi Jaza'ir Indonesia (Java Island). Latin name for frankincense, benzoe, derived from the Arabic name luban jawi ("frankincense of Java"), because Arab traders obtained from incense trees Styrax sumatrana who once grew only in Sumatra. To this day pilgrims we still often called "Java" by Arabs. Even though people outside Java, Indonesia. In Arabic, also known Samathrah (Sumatra), Sholibis (Sulawesi), Sundah (Sunda), all of the island known as Jawi kulluh (all of Java).

European nations who first came to the view that Asia is made up of Arabs, Persians, Indians, and Tiongkok. For them, the area stretched between Persia and Tiongkok all the "Indies". South Asian peninsula they call "Ocean Front" and the mainland of Southeast Asia called "Indian History."

While the country earned the name "Indies" (Indische archipel, Indian Archipelago, l'archipel Indien) or "East Indies" (Oost Indie, East Indies, Indes Orientales).

Other names also used are "Malay Archipelago" (Maleische archipel, news Archipelago, l'archipel Malais). During the Dutch colonial period, the official name used is the Nederlandsch-Indie (Dutch), while the government use the term occupation Jepang 1942-1945 To-Indo (East Indies). Eduard Douwes Dekker (1820-1887), known under the pseudonym Multatuli, has suggested the specific name to mention the islands of Indonesia, is Insulinde, which means the "Indies" (Latin insula meaning island). 

Insulinde name is not Popular. In 1920, Ernest Francois Eugene Douwes Dekker (1879-1950), known as Dr. Setiabudi (grandson of the brother Multatuli), introducing a name for. Is no other name is Nusantara, a term that has been submerged for centuries. Setiabudi take the name of Pararaton, copies of ancient Majapahit era found in Bali at the end of the 19th century and translated by JLA Brandes and published by Johannes Krom Nicholaas in 1920.

Understanding of the proposed Festival Setiabudi far different from the meaning of Nusantara Majapahit era. At the time of Majapahit, Nusantara is used to indicate the islands outside of Java (the language meaning Sansekerta outer side) rather than Jawadwipa (Java). Palapa Oath of Gajah Mada says "yet huwus lost Nusantara, isun amukti palapa" (If you have lost side of the islands, I did enjoy the break here).

According to the history of the islands that Dr. Setiabudi defining the word connotes ignorance of the Majapahit era, given the sense of nationalism. By taking the word between the indigenous Malays, the islands now have a new meaning "land of water between the two continents and two oceans", so that Java is included in the definition of a modern state. Setiabudi terms of this archipelago is fast becoming popular as an alternative to the use of the name of the Dutch East Indies. To this day remains a term used to refer to the Indonesian archipelago. In 1847, Earl propose two options name: Indunesia or Malayunesia (nesos in Greek means island). but prefer to use Malayunesia.

So Logan James Richardson uses name Indunesia (discards Earl), and the lyrics or replaced by letter O said better. Thus was born the Indonesian term. 

This is the Indonesian Word for the first time appeared in the world with the printed paper in Logan: natives who first used the term "Indonesia" is Suwardi Suryaningrat (Ki Hajar Dewantara). When exiled to Holland in 1913, established an Office press named Indonesische Press-Bureau. Name Indonesisch (Indonesia) was also introduced as a substitute for Indisch (India) by Prof. Cornelis van Vollenhoven (1917). So therefore, inland (native) changed with Indonesier (Indonesian people).
