Abstract: The name of regions in Indonesia have been the subject of research. However, because of the constrained scope, geographic location, and analytical depth, no significant findings have been made. The names of Indonesian areas need to be thoroughly and critically studied. This study employes a critical ethnography methodology and critical discourse analysis to examine the data. The findings demonstrate that the early Javanese name for the region in ancient Indonesia, Saka, accurately defines that civilization. A chronogram-based digital technique is used to create region names. The chronogram technique for naming regions result in parallel regional nams between provinces, regions, and islands within the same jurisdiction. By building a state, demarcating territory, and organizing a connection of authorities,the Saka dynasty created hegemony of authority. The archipelago model area names has the potential to support the traditional tourism industry in Indonesia.
