  "Timor" is derived from timur, meaning ' east ' in Malay, thus resulting in a tautological place name meaning ' East East '. In Indonesian, this results in the name Timor Timur (the name of the former de facto Indonesian province; Timor Leste is used instead to refer to the country). In Portuguese, the country is called Timor-Leste (Leste meaning ' east '). In Tetum, it is Timór Lorosa'e (Lorosa'e can be literally translated as ' where the sun rises ').
  
  The official names under its constitution are "Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste" in English, " República Democrática de Timor-Leste " in Portuguese, and " Repúblika Demokrátika Timór-Leste " in Tetum. The official short form of the name is "Timor-Leste", and it uses the ISO codes TLS & TL.
