Javadvipa (जावाद्वीप) is an island of Indonesia.According to Sir William Wilson Hunter,Such were the trade relations between the rulers of Kalinga and Indonesia, that it is believed that the islands of Java and Bali derive their name from the names of Odia kings.It seems probable, therefore, that the Buddhist Javanas of Orissa gave their name, and eventually their creed,to Java, long a stronghold of Buddhism, and that Ionian enterprise has thus left its mark on the remotest islands of the Eastern Archipelago.Iono de Barros and the early voyagers call the Javanese,Jabans or Javans,— the same word,letter for letter,as it is spelt in Orissa,where the vernacular does not distinguish between b and v ; and the name applied not only to Java,but to the surrounding islands.Reference-[William Wilson Hunter (1872).Orissa,Volume 1.Smith,Elder & co. p. 217.].Apparently in deference to Marco Polo's claim that Java Major was the largest island in the world, Alfonse gave the name Jave Mynore to the island of Java and the name La Grand Jave to the continental land to the south.Alfonse said,La Grand Jave is a land that goes as far as under the Antarctic Pole and from the Terre Australle in the west to the land of the Strait of Magellan on the eastern side. Some say that it is islands but from what I have seen of it, it is terre ferme [a continent].That called Jave Mynore is an island, but la Grand Jave is terre ferme.Reference-Cest Jave est un terre qui va jusques dessoubz le polle antarctique et en occident tient à la terre Australle, et du cousté d'oriant à la terre du destroict de Magaillant.Aulcuns dient que ce sont isles. Et quant est de ce que j'en ay veu, c’est terre firme.Celle que l'on appelle Jave Mynore est une isle.Mais la Grand Jave est terre ferme'.
