Javanese name

Javanese names (Javanese: ꦗꦼꦤꦼꦁ​ꦗꦮ, jeneng Jawa; ꦗꦼꦤꦼꦁ​ꦗꦮꦶ, jeneng Jawi) refers to the personal names used by individuals (primarily Javanese) originally from the Indonesian island of Java, and parts of the world (by the diaspora). Javanese names reflects the rich cultural, linguistic, and historical heritage of the Javanese people, the largest ethnic group in Southeast Asia, who traced their ultimate ancestral origin to the island of Java. These names are deeply rooted in a combination of indigenous Javanese cultural traditions, but to some extent, also drawn from foreign religious influences or elements. The structure, meaning, and use of Javanese names have evolved over centuries, yet many traditional patterns still endure.
