area of Demak was a lot of water; Because of the large marshes and brackish
ground so many dam (pond) or countryman lake where water collected. Note:
delamak from Sanskrit word meaning swamp.
According to Prof. Slamet Mulyono, Demak derived from
ancient Javanese language "Damak", which means grace. Bintoro Earth
