The semi-historical Malay Annals condition that Temasek was christened Singapura by Sang Nila Utama, a 13th-century Srivijayan Raja from Palembang. The title Singapura supplanted Temasek sometime in advance of the 15th century, after the institution of the Kingdom of Singapura on the island by a fleeing Srivijayan Raja (prince) from Palembang.
