Do you know...

In December 1408, the Emperor of China, at the request of Xia-wang, the 4 years old newly selected King of Puni, conferred the mountains in the country of Puni, the name “Mountain Which Will Ever Peacefully Protect the County”.

(OF course, it was Xia Wang's uncle who told the Chinese Emperor of the request, so that if China was known to protect Puni, other nations such as Majapahit and Sulu will not attack the Kingdom, now under the rule of the 4 years old king)

After Brunei became an Islamic state, the Arabic translation became “Darussalam”, the Abode of Peace, which Brunei is now known as.
