Indonesia - Personal names and forms of address

imageimage

Due to the great mixture of ethnic groups and languages found in Indonesia, the personal naming and form of address conventions of each group needs to be understood.

Many people in Indonesia have no family name, and if they use a second name it is the name of the father. Others use long names following Malay naming conventions or Muslim naming conventions. The Chinese community may use either localized names or transliterated Chinese names which follow the Chinese naming conventions. Some women take their husband’s name upon marriage, others do not.

Balinese use Hindu names, many a variant (affected by caste) indicating the birth order: Wayan/Yan (1st born) , Made (2nd born), Nyoman or Komang/Man/Mang (3rd born); and Ketut (4th born). A fifth child might become Wayan Balik ("Wayan again"). They do not use family names. A prefix I may be added as a prefix for females and Ni for males to indicate gender.
