 Many theories try to explain the name of this temple. One of them states that the name is probably from the word Sambharabhudhara, the "mountain" means derived (bhudara), where are the hanging terraces. And there are some other folk etymology. Suppose that the word comes from the greeting Borobudur "Buddha" due to a shift in the sound Borobudur. Another explanation is that the name of two words "coal" and "beduhur" comes from. The word bara its supposed origin of the word monastery, while other statements, where the coal comes from Sanskrit, the temple or monastery and beduhur phrase means "high" or to remind the Balinese language means "above".

[1] The term itself comes from the word kamulan first place of origin means that the ancestral shrine is likely to glorify the ancestors of the dynasty Sailendra.
