Answer:

The actual Indonesian name for the volcano is "Krakatau". Theories about origins of the name "Krakatau" include the idea that it is derived from the noise made by the white parrots living on the island. Another theory says it comes from the Sanskrit word "karkata" meaning "lobster" or "crab".  A series of underwater eruptions that are part of the original volcano once again emerged above the sea, forming a new island named Anak Krakatoa.
