In addition, there are several other people's etymology. Suppose Borobudur word comes from the greeting "the Buddha" because of the shift in sound to be Borobudur. Another explanation is that this name comes from two words "warmth" and "beduhur". The word seems coals comes from the word Vihara, while there is also another explanation in which the heat comes from the Sanskrit language which means temple or a monastery complex and beduhur meaning is "high", or the language in Bali, which means "above". So meaning is a dormitory or a monastery which is located on high ground.

Historian J.G. de Casparis in disertasinya for the doctorate in 1950 argued that Borobudur is a place of worship.
