The English name of "Singapore" is an anglicisation of the native Malay name for the country, '''''Singapura''''', which was in turn derived from the Sanskrit word for "lion city" (romanised: '''''Siṃhapura'''''; Brahmi: 𑀲𑀺𑀁𑀳𑀧𑀼𑀭; literally "lion city"; ''siṃha'' means "lion", ''pura'' means "city" or "fortress"). A Chinese account from the third century referred to a place as ''Pú Luó Zhōng'' (), which sounds like Malay for "island at the end of a peninsula." Early references to the name Temasek (or Tumasik) are found in the Nagarakretagama, a Javanese epic poem written in 1365, and a Vietnamese source from the same time period. The name possibly means "Sea Town", being derived from the Malay ''tasek'', meaning "sea" or "lake". The Chinese traveller Wang Dayuan visited a place around 1330 named ''Danmaxi'' () or ''Tam ma siak'', depending on pronunciation. ''Danmaxi'' may be a transcription of Temasek (Tumasik), alternatively, it may be a combination of the Malay ''Tanah'' meaning "land" and Chinese ''Xi'' meaning "tin," which was traded on the island.
