Trip to Langkawi
Posted on 12. Feb, 2008 by TY in Travel
The name Langkawi is a combination of “Lang” and “Kawi”. “Lang” comes from the Malay word helang which means eagle. In the past, the land was a home to innumerable eagles. “Kawi” is Sanskrit for marble, which is found in excess in this part of Malaysia. Both words are joined to form the word “Helangkawi” which ultimately became Langkawi.
