Borneo is not officially renamed, but the Indonesian part of the island has been named "Kalimantan." Additionally, the capital city of Indonesia is being relocated from Jakarta to a new city called "Nusantara" in East Kalimantan, which is part of the Borneo island. The name change reflects Indonesia's efforts to promote development in the region and reduce congestion in Jakarta.

How did Borneo get its name?

The earliest European explorers around Borneo were Portuguese and to a lesser extent Spaniards. They were great seamen. In Portuguese and Spanish a moored ship is "al borneo" when it is free to rotate according to the wind and currents. Perhaps "Borneo" began as a place reference on an early chart, like "Anchorage" became the name of a city in Alaska. Or it could have meant that in this area the fickle winds and currents caused boats to rotate a lot.
