The name "Dieng" comes from Sanskrit, which is thought to combine the words "Di" and "Hyang." The word "Di" in Sanskrit means a high place or mountain, and can mean something highest, mysterious and transcendent. Apart from that, the word "Di" can also be associated with the meaning of beauty and majesty.
Meanwhile, "Hyang" is a word that refers to something supernatural or holy, such as gods, ancestral spirits, or other divine beings. Thus, the name "Dieng" is often interpreted as "the place where the gods reside" or "heaven."
