Name Indonesia
In the year 1847 in Singapore published an annual scholarly journal, Journal of the Indian Archipelago and Eastern Asia (JIAEA), which is managed by James Richardson Logan (1819-1869), who won a Scottish law degree from the University of Edinburgh. Then in 1849 an expert on the English ethnology, George Samuel Windsor Earl (1813-1865), joined the magazine as editor JIAEA.
In JIAEA Volume IV in 1850, pages 66-74, Earl wrote an article On the Leading Characteristics of the Papuan, Australian and Malay-Polynesian Nations. In his article Earl insists that it was time for the people of the Indian Archipelago or Malayan Archipelago to have a unique name (a Distinctive name), because the Indian names is not exact and is often confused with the mention of another Indian. Earl asked the name of two choices: Indunesia or Malayunesia (nesos in Greek means island). On page 71 the article was written:
"... The inhabitants of the Indian Archipelago or Malayan Archipelago would become respectively Indunesians or Malayunesians".
Earl himself states chose the name Malayunesia (Malayan Archipelago) than Indunesia (Ocean Islands), because the perfect venue for Malayunesia races Malays, while Indunesia can also be used to Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and Maldives (Maldives). Earl argues that the language of Malays are also used throughout the archipelago. In the Earl's writings use the term Malayunesia and not use the term Indunesia.
In Volume IV JIAEA also, pages 252-347, James Richardson Logan wrote the article The Ethnology of the Indian Archipelago. At the beginning of his writing, Logan also stated the need for unique names for the islands of our homeland, because the term Indian Archipelago too long and confusing. Logan picked up a discarded Indunesia Earl, and the letter u replaced with the o so his words better. Thus was born the term Indonesia.
For the first time the word Indonesia appears in the world with 254 pages printed on Logan in writing:
"Mr. Earl suggests the ethnographical term Indunesian, but rejects it in favor of Malayunesian. I prefer the Purely geographical term Indonesia, which is merely a shorter synonym for the Indian Islands, or the Indian Archipelago".
When proposing the name "Indonesia" Logan did not seem to realize that in the future it will be the name of the official name. Since then Logan has consistently used the name "Indonesia" in his scientific writings, and gradually spread the use of this term among the scientists of ethnology and geography.
In 1884, professor of ethnology at the University of Berlin is named Adolf Bastian (1826-1905) published a book Indonesien oder die Inseln des Malayischen Archipel five volumes, containing research results when wandering into the ground water in 1864 until 1880. Bastian book is a popularized the term "Indonesia" at the Dutch scholar, so that could arise assumption that the term "Indonesia" was created Bastian. Opinion that is not true that, among others listed in Encyclopedie van Nederlandsch-Indië in 1918. Yet Bastian took the term "Indonesia" is from the writings of Logan.
Native who first used the term "Indonesia" is Suwardi Suryaningrat (Ki Hajar Dewantara). When disposed of in the Netherlands in 1913, he founded a press agency with the name Indonesische Press-bureau.
Name Englisch (Indonesia) was also introduced as a replacement Indisch (Indies) by Prof. Cornelis van Vollenhoven (1917). Accordingly, natives (native) replaced with a Indonesians (of Indonesia).
[edit] Politics
In the 1920s, the name "Indonesia" which is a scientific term in ethnology and geography was taken over by the leaders of Indonesia's independence movement, thus the name "Indonesia" finally has a political meaning, namely the identity of a nation struggling for independence. As a result the Dutch government was suspicious and wary of the use of the word's creation Logan.
In 1922 at the initiative of Mohammad Hatta, a student Handels Hoogeschool (School of Economics) in Rotterdam, students and student organizations in the Netherlands East Indies (which formed in 1908 with the name of the Indische Vereeniging) changed its name to Indonesische Perhimpoenan Vereeniging or Indonesia. Their magazine, the Indian Poetra, renamed Indonesia Merdeka.
Bung Hatta emphasized in his writings:
"Independent State of Indonesia which will come (toekomstige Vrije Indonesische de staat) impossible-called" Dutch East Indies ". Nor is it" Indian "only, because it may cause errors with the real India. For us the name of Indonesia, said a political goal (een politiek doel) , for representing and aspire to a homeland in the future, and to realize each of Indonesia (Indonesians) will try with all the power and ability. "
In Indonesia, Dr. Sutomo Indonesische Study Club founded in 1924. That same year the Indian Communist Union renamed the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI). In 1925, Bond form Islamieten Jong Nationaal scouting Indonesische Padvinderij (Natipij). That the three organizations in the country that first used the name "Indonesia". Finally the name "Indonesia" was crowned as the name of homeland, nation and language in the density-Pemoedi Pemoeda Indonesia October 28, 1928, now known as the Youth Pledge.
In August 1939 three members of the Volksraad (People's Council; parliament Dutch East Indies), Muhammad Husni Thamrin, Wiwoho Purbohadidjojo, and Sutardjo Kartohadikusumo, filed a motion to the Government of the Netherlands East Indies to the name "Indonesia" was established as a replacement name "Nederlandsch-Indie". But the Dutch rejected this motion.
With the occupation of Japan on March 8, 1942, gone the name "Dutch East Indies". Then on August 17, 1945, was born of the Republic of Indonesia.
