Another opinion says that the word "bandung" means big or large. The word comes from the word milk. In Sundanese, ngabandeng means vast puddles and seemed calm, but it seemed creepy. Allegedly milkfish said it then turned the sound into Bandung. There is another opinion stating that the word is derived from the weir Bandung.

Based on the results of geological studies, water is expected to begin receding Lake Bandung on Neolithic period (± 8000-7000 BC). The process of reflux of the lake took place gradually over the centuries.
