“…The Javanese people's attitudes toward creating or composing personal names have shifted over time. They are consistent with modernity (Widodo, 2013), technological advancement (Atmawati, 2020, andPrabandari, 2017), foreign language word choice (Aribowo & Herawati, 2016), and hybrid names (Aribowo, Hadi, & Ma'ruf, 2019). Explicitly, even, Prabandari (2017, p. 66-67) said that they are embarrassed and no longer proud of instituting the tradition in naming practice.…”

“…The compositions are about mononym names. Those were happening for people born before the 1970s (Uhlenbeck, 1969(Uhlenbeck, & 1982Lefman, 2013, p. 18;Atmawati, 2020) or in the 1970s (Uhlenbeck, 1969(Uhlenbeck, & 1982Lefman, 2013, p. 18;Atmawati, 2020;Wening, 2015). Widodo (2013) explains that in the following decades, people are eager to adopt modern naming practices, such as having multiple name parts, unique word choices, and various motivations.…”

“…Changes in Javanese culture are also evidence of foreign cultural infiltration, which has impacted the indigenous Javanese people, such as naming practices. Previously, Javanese people recognized mononyms or single names in naming practices (Uhlenbeck, 1969(Uhlenbeck, & 1982Lefman, 2013, p. 18;Atmawati, 2020) without adding any other words to it (Aribowo, 2017, p. 290-291, Tur, 2019a. However, Javanese people have adapted to the need for more modern naming by having polynyms, names with two or more name parts, including meaningful hybridization (Aribowo & Herawati, 2016;Widodo, 2013b;Aribowo, Hadi, & Ma'ruf, 2019), and even containing number and codes (Lefman, 2013, p. 18).…”

The intersection of loyalty to tradition among Prajurit Karaton and the demands of the times, particularly in terms of naming, is a topic that deserves to be researched. Furthermore, the community characteristics that are usually raised in scientific writings about naming are heterogeneous communities, so homogeneous communities become an important supporting component that completes the topic. This is a qualitative study that uses the Prajurit Karaton as the primary data source and a list of the names of their offspring as the secondary data. As a result, the names of the Prajurit Karaton’s offspring changed from mostly mononyms in the 1960s to polynyms in the 2010s. Nonetheless, the identity of a Javanese society remains. This also demonstrates that the Prajurit Karaton give names in accordance with the times while maintaining their identity as Javanese people and the Javanese cultural values.

<p>Javanese literary works, especially the Panji tales, often feature human characters with animal names, such as Kuda Narawangsa, Kebo Kanigara, and Kidangwalangka. This naming phenomenon can also be found in old Javanese inscriptions. Recent studies generally concluded that such naming tradition occurred during the Kadiri-Majapahit era, and this was closely related to the banner of the army and the identity of <em>makasirkasir</em>. This study aims to reveal the motivation behind the naming tradition and the relationship between personal name, social status, and occupation of the person so named throughout the ancient Javanese era. This study uses Nyström’s onomastical approach, especially the concept of anthroponomics, namely the presuppositional meanings of proper names consisting of categorial, associative, and emotive meanings. This research utilized archaeological methods which involved data collection, data processing, and interpretation. Results show that this naming phenomenon was generally motivated by people’s appreciation of certain animals that had a special place and played an important role in the ancient Javanese society and culture. The correlation between the names and the characters’ social status and occupation has been found to be influenced by the sociocultural development during the Ancient Mataram and Kadiri-Majapahit periods.</p>
