Marga (Batak)
Marga is a term in Batak societies referring to a clan name. The term is derived either from the Sanskrit ''varga'', meaning company, party, or group, or, more likely, from the Sanskrit ''marga'', meaning 'road, way or path', referring to a people of 'one origin'. Batak ''marga'' are patrilineal. Marriage in the same ''marga'' is strictly forbidden by tribal law ( adat) even between people only distantly related; but it is allowed and often even arranged between cousins of the maternal line (''boru''). After marriage, Batak women do not change their family (''marga'') name, but add "boru" to their birth name. Since Batak ''marga'' are patrilineal, the children will inherit the ''marga'' from their father. In Batak Toba mythology, ''marga'' are traced to the common ancestor "Si Raja Batak" (The King of the Batak). In Karo mythology, the five ''marga'' (Merga Silima) are defined in terms of matrimonial bonds, with no importance placed on a common ancestor myth. Simalungun people ha ...

Batak (Indonesia)
Batak is a collective term used to identify a number of closely related Austronesian ethnic groups predominantly found in North Sumatra, Indonesia, who speak Batak languages. The term is used to include the Karo, Pakpak, Simalungun, Toba, Angkola, and Mandailing which are related groups with distinct languages and traditional customs (''adat''). Prehistory Linguistic and archaeological evidence indicates that Austronesian speakers first reached Sumatra from Taiwan and the Philippines through Borneo or Java about 2,500 years ago, and the Batak probably descended from these settlers. While the archaeology of southern Sumatra testifies to the existence of neolithic settlers, it seems that the northern part of Sumatra was settled by agriculturalists at a considerably later stage. Although the Batak are often considered to be isolated peoples thanks to their location inland, away from the influence of seafaring European colonials, there is evidence that they have been inv ...
