Bojong

Bojong is a common place name element in Indonesia, particularly in West Java. It typically refers to a small area, often a village or hamlet, frequently associated with agricultural land or a slightly elevated area. It's derived from the Sundanese language. The term can be found as part of the name of many different villages, sub-districts (kecamatan), and even larger administrative regions throughout the region. Because of its widespread use, "Bojong" on its own is not sufficient to identify a specific location without further context. To pinpoint a particular "Bojong," additional qualifiers, such as the name of the regency (kabupaten) or province (provinsi), are needed. For example, "Bojonggede" (Bojong Gede) is a well-known sub-district in Bogor Regency, West Java. The prevalence of the name reflects the geographic characteristics and historical settlements of the Sundanese people.
