Boja Nagara, that part of the north coast of Bantam which terminates in St Nicholas Point. The same words in Javanese form are Bojo Negoro, an assistant Residency belonging to Rembang. Bojo in Javanese has several meanings, viz, a wife; food or provisions; the chief, the principal, whatever is of most importance. This word is most probably derived from Bajanaya, C. 455. association, union, embracing, an embrace, or Bojun C. 479 or Bojuna, C. 481, food, eating, provisions, nagara, C. 306a town, a city.

The people at Bojo Negoro in Rembang have an idea that the name of their place implies a spot where food and the means of subsistance are in plenty. Bojo kromo implies in Javanese, real hospitality.
