Etymology There is a possibility that the origin of the name ''Sasak'' came from the word ''sak-sak'', which means "boat". In the Nagarakretagama, the word ''Sasak'' is mentioned together as one with Lombok Island, namely ''Lombok Sasak Mirah Adhi''. According to local tradition, it is believed that the word ''Sasak'' came from ''sa'-saq'' which means "the one".
