Etymology

From Proto-Malayic *kampuŋ. Compare Minangkabau kampuang.

  • According to Dempwolff, the Malay word is a derivation from Proto-Malayic *puŋ (“to collect, gather”).[1]
  • Related to Khmer កំពង់ (kɑmpŭəng, “port; landing-place”) due to the historical ties between Javanese and Khmer people in ancient times. However, according to Dempwolff, relationship to Khmer កំពង់ (kɑmpŭəng, “port; landing-place”) is considered coincidental.[2]
