Abstract :

This research analyzed the toponym categories utilized in naming temples and the variability in language employed in the process within tourist destinations in Bali. Through a comprehensive analysis of temple names, it examines the prevalence of different toponym categories, including associative, descriptive, copied, and eponymous and also the language used to form the temple names namely Old Javanese, Balinese and Sanskrit. Additionally, the study explores the linguistic sources contributing to the naming of temples, considering factors such as historical, cultural, and religious influences. By synthesizing data from various tourist destinations in Bali, this research sheds light on the complex interplay of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage in temple naming practices, offering insights into the rich tapestry of Bali’s religious landscape.
