ABOUT ORANG UTAN

ETYMOLOGY

The name of Orang Utan is derived from the Malay and Indonesian words Orang means “person” and hutan means “forest, thus “person of the forest”. Orang Utan was originally not used to refer to apes, but to forest dwelling humans. The Malay words used to refer specifically to the ape is maias and mawas, but it is unclear if those words refer only to orangutans, or to all apes in general. The first attestation of the word to name the Asian ape is in Jacobus Bontinus 1631 “Historiae naturalis et medicae Indiae orientalis” – he described that Malaysians had informed him that the ape was able to talk, but preferred not to “lest he be compelled to labour”. The word comes specifically from the Banjarese variety of Malay.
