Extended data
The early history of Sabah is rather vague, and the Sabah Museum collects some foreign records and archaeological evidence discovered by archaeologists.
According to legend, the residents on the west coast of Sabah like to grow a banana called Pisan Sabah, so people call it Sabah. Another way of saying it is that Sabah is located in the southern part of the typhoon zone in the northern hemisphere and is not disturbed by typhoons, so it is called "the land under the wind", attracting Muslim businessmen doing business in sulu archipelago to stop to avoid typhoons; In Arabic, "the land under the wind" is called Zir-e Bad, which is pronounced as "Sabah".
As early as the15th century, businessmen in Brunei and the southern Philippines called this place Sabah. However, after the British ruled Sabah in 188 1, the place name was changed to North Borneo. It was not until 1963 Sabah became a part of Malaysia that its proper name was restored.
