First, the Betawi people call Barongan, probably derived from the mean unison together or equally. The name comes from the phrase an invitation in the Betawi dialect "Yok, we ngarak together". After Benjamin singing Ondel-ondel, then called Ondel-ondel Barongan.
The late Benjamin, a legendary singer of songs Betawi, it certainly had no intention of changing the designation from Batavia doll. However, a character in the soap opera Si Doel Anak School Rano Karno, who plays with it, so great influence, so as to Ondel-ondel for the giant doll is more popular than Barongan.
