Naming An Empire After a Tree

Melaka was founded in 1396 by an exiled Sumatran prince named Parameswara. It was once a port-of-call for ship from the Middle East, China, India, Arab and South America.According to the legend, Parameswara was out of his dogs cornered a mouse-deer and in defence, the mouse-deer kicked the dog smartly on its nose. Parameswara was so impressed by the mouse-deer's courage and also believing what he saw as a good omen, he decided to build his empire on that sacred land and named it after the tree he was sitting under which was the Melaka tree. Incidently, he was the first Malay prince to become a Muslim and inevitaly, Islam became the official religion.
