In Javanese culture, giving names to children cannot be done carelessly. There are several things that need to be considered, because as it is known, names are often considered as prayers. According to Javanese astrology, a good name is believed to bring a child a good destiny.

However, unfortunately, it is sometimes difficult to give a good name. To find the best name, sometimes careful thinking is needed, so it takes time. Based on traditional Javanese culture, there are several procedures for giving a good name to a child. Here are the procedures for giving a name according to Javanese astrology:

1. Giving a Name According to Birth Order

Among the Javanese community, it is quite common for parents to name their children based on their birth order. For example, the first child is named Eka or Ika, the second child is named Dwi, the third child is named Tri, the fourth child is named Catur, and so on. These names based on birth order can later be combined with other names that have good meanings.

2. Giving a Name According to Birth Time

In addition to birth order, among the Javanese community, there are also many parents who name their children according to their birth time. For example, a child born during the day is named Rino or Rina. Then, a child born at night is named Ratri. There are also Javanese parents in the past who named their children according to the date of birth, for example, a child is named Tuginem (an abbreviation of Sabtu Legi Tanggal Enem).

3. Giving a Name According to Desired Good Traits

As mentioned earlier, a name is like a prayer for a child. Therefore, in order for a child to grow up to be a good person, parents can give their child a name that reflects good qualities. For example, parents can name their child Kartika, which means star, with the intention of becoming a child who becomes a guiding light for others.

4. Giving a Name Similar to an Admired Figure

Another way to give a good name to a child according to Javanese astrology is by giving a name similar to an admired figure. Yes, parents can give their child a name that is similar or even the same as an admired and emulated figure. For example, parents can give their child the name Setya, which is known in Javanese mythology as a figure who is loyal. Another example is giving the name Muhammad with the intention of the child emulating the qualities of the Prophet Muhammad.
