The name "Demosistō" is derived from the [[Greek language|Greek]] "demos" ("δῆμος", meaning "people", from which the English word "democracy" is derived) and [[Latin]] "sisto" (meaning "to stand", from which English words such as "insist", "persist" and "resist" are derived). Literally translated as "people to stand" in English, it means "stand for democracy", or "stand for the people".<ref name=ejinsight20160407>{{cite news|title=Joshua Wong to launch new political party, Demosistō, Sunday|date=7 April 2016|url=http://www.ejinsight.com/20160407-joshua-wong-launch-new-political-party-demosisto-sunday/|work=Ejnisight|access-date=7 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160409041540/http://www.ejinsight.com/20160407-joshua-wong-launch-new-political-party-demosisto-sunday/|archive-date=9 April 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> The Chinese name means "the will of the people".<ref name="chinesename"/><ref name=20160406hk01>{{cite news|url=http://www.hk01.com/%E6%B8%AF%E8%81%9E/15253/%E9%BB%83%E4%B9%8B%E9%8B%92%E6%96%B0%E6%94%BF%E9%BB%A8%E8%8B%B1%E6%96%87%E5%90%8DDemosist%C5%8D-%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E6%98%AF-%E9%87%98%E6%AF%9B%E8%88%8C%E5%9C%96-|title=黃之鋒新政黨英文名Demosistō 中文是「釘毛舌圖」？|date=6 April 2016|work=HK01|access-date=6 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160410115158/http://www.hk01.com/%E6%B8%AF%E8%81%9E/15253/%E9%BB%83%E4%B9%8B%E9%8B%92%E6%96%B0%E6%94%BF%E9%BB%A8%E8%8B%B1%E6%96%87%E5%90%8DDemosist%C5%8D-%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E6%98%AF-%E9%87%98%E6%AF%9B%E8%88%8C%E5%9C%96-|archive-date=10 April 2016|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=nextmedia54955581>{{cite news|title=
The idea of forming Demosistō was inspired by Taiwan's [[New Power Party]] which was formed by the [[Sunflower Movement]] leaders and fared well in the [[2016 Taiwanese legislative election]]. In February 2016, core figures of the student activist group Scholarism – Joshua Wong, Oscar Lai and Agnes Chow – who played an instrumental role in the [[2014 Hong Kong protests]], announced their plan of forming a new political party with other [[Umbrella Movement]] leaders, including [[Nathan Law]], former secretary-general of the [[Hong Kong Federation of Students]] (HKFS), to run in the [[2016 Hong Kong legislative election|September Legislative Council election]].<ref name=ltn1604552>{{cite news|title=效法時代力量突圍 香港
