Hey lloyd h,
The name comes dates back from the 18th century when there was a kingdom called Nyayogyakarta Hadiningrat under the rule of Sultan Hamengku Buwono I (http://www.geocities.com/in_yogyakarta/).
I wonder if the word is Indonesian or Javanese, Sudanese or any of the other languages spoken in Indonesia.
For a definitive answer, I suggest posting the question on the city's website:
