Surabaya is known as The City Of Heroes, due to the importance Battle of Surabaya against The Dutch Colony to support the Independence of Indonesia during Indonesia National Revolution According to the etymology and peple EURO s believe, the word Surabaya is coming from the worn Sura (Suro in Javanese) and Baya (Boyo in Javanese). Suro is kind of shark and Boyo is crocodile in Javanese term. Those two creatures, according to local myth, fouth each other to get the tittle of "the strongest and most powerful animal" in the area according to a Jayabaya prophecy. This prophecy tells of a fight between a giant white shark and a giant white crocodile. Now the two animals are used as the city's logo, the two facing each other while circling, as depicted in a statue appropriately located near the entrance to the city zoo Alternate derivations from Surabaya term is coming from the Javanese sura ing baya, which means"bravely facing danger"; or from the use of surya to refer to the sun. Some people consider this Jayabaya prophecy as a great war between Surabaya native people and invaders in 1945, while another story is about two heroes that fought each other in order to be the king of the city. The two heroes were Sura and Baya. Surabaya is a main seaport and commercial center in the eastern region of Indonesia, and now become one of thelargest cities in Southeast Asia.
