Names of Singapore
The names of Singapore include both historical designations and contemporary names and nicknames in various languages spoken on the island.
The English language name Singapore comes from the Malay ''Singapura'', which is derived from Sanskrit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Singapore )〕 ''Singa'' comes from the Sanskrit word ''siṃha'' (सिंह), which means "lion", and ''pura'' (पुर) means "town" in Sanskrit and is a common suffix in many Indian place names. The Sanskrit origin is due to the regional influence of Chola kings of India, who spoke Tamil, but preferred to use Sanskrit for royal and religious titles.
Recent studies of Singapore, however, indicate that lions have never lived there, not even Asiatic lions; the beast seen by Singapore's 13th century founder, the Srivijayan Sang Nila Utama, was most likely a tiger, probably the Malayan Tiger.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Search Singapore Pte Ltd )〕
