==Etymology==
The name "Johor" originated from the Arabic word ''Jauhar'', 'gem/jewel'.〔()〕 Malays tend to name a place after natural objects in great abundance or having visual dominance. Before the name Johor was adopted, the area south of the Muar River to Singapore island was known as ''Ujong Tanah'' or 'land's end' in Malay, due to its location at the end of the Malay Peninsula. Coincidentally, Johor is the most southern point of the Asian continental mainland.〔(Ancient names of Johor ), 2 March 2009, JohorBuzz, New Straits Times〕
