His name, Athar, comes from the Arab, and means fragrant. "By the Minangkabau people, the word Athar is often pronounced Atta, and slowly changed to become Hatta." ^[2]

In reality, Bung Hatta has no last name. The name Athar, which became Atta then Hatta, is a personal name rather than a surname. The closest the Minangkabau come to a last name is their village of origin, sometimes used as a kind of surname. Bung Hatta did not use his, but his grandfather did.
