Mt.Krakatau got its name because the island it was formed on is called Krakatou and since it is the only mountain there it was named after the island. Anak Krakatou was formed after an eruption of Krakatou and it is so named as anak means child so it is Krakatoa's child.
Mount Tambora got its name from the Javanese word "tamboro," which means "to thunder" or "to bellow." This name likely refers to the volcanic mountain's explosive eruptions and rumbling noises.
Tambora comes form the stem tam for mountain and bora for fire.
