Apa maksud Malaysia dan Malaya?

rajasemarak

Assalamualaikum.

Saya ingin bertanyakan sebuah soalan yang sudah lama bermain di benak saya. Apakah maksud perkataan Malaysia dan Malaya? Apakah pula sejarah terhadap pemilihan perkataan ini sehingga diangkat menjadi nama negara kita sekarang ini?

Wassalam.

malaysia tu kalau maksud nama secara terus : Kepulauan Melayu . Cthnya Indonesia , bermaksud Kepulauan India.

Tapi kalau ikut Tunku lak malaysia stands for malay : malaya , sia : 3 negeri yang join malaysia waktu tu start dengan huruf S dekat depan : Sabah Sarawak n Singapura.

Malaya lak, itu rasenya British yang bagi nama, lebih kepada bahasa kot. Tapi kalau ikut bahasa sanskrit ke tamil, ia bermasuk bukit/gunung. jadi orang melayu : orang bukit / orang gunung . maybe sbb waktu tu diorang terjumpa org melayu dekat gunung jerai, jadi dia namakan la org situ melayu..

shire- (wiki)

A shire is a traditional division found in the United Kingdom and in Australia.

In Britain "shire" is the original term for what is usually known as a county; the word county having been introduced at the Norman Conquest. The two are synonymous. Although in modern British usage counties are referred to as "shires" mainly in poetic contexts, terms such as Shire Hall remain common. Shire also remains a common part of many county names.

In parts of Australia, a shire is an administrative unit. It is not synonymous with "county", which is a land registration unit.

The first shires were created by the Anglo-Saxons in what is now central and southern England. The word is from Old English, scir, and appears to be allied to shear as it is a division of the land. The system was spread to most of the rest of England in tenth century.

The shire in early days was governed by an ealdorman and in the later Anglo-Saxon period by royal official known as a "shire reeve" or sheriff. The shires were divided into hundreds or wapentakes, although other less common sub-divisions existed.

The first shires of Scotland were created after the English model, possibly beginning in the tenth century. King David I more consistently created shires and appointed sheriffs across lowland Scotland. An alternative name for a shire was a "sheriffdom" until sheriff court reforms separated the two concepts. In Scotland the word "county" was not adopted for the shires. Although "county" appears in some texts, "shire" was the normal name until counties for statutory purposes were created in the nineteenth century.

Individually, or as a suffix in Scotland and in the far northeast of England, the word is pronounced /ʃaɪr/ (rhyming with "fire"). As a suffix in an English or Welsh place name, it is in most regions pronounced /-ʃər/ "shur", or sometimes /-ʃɪər/, a homophone of "sheer".

yg ni logik sikit... perkataan "malay" pun dari english, "shire" pun dari english...
malay = melayu, shire = negara
