Naming Tradition

Assalamu’alaikum. Wr.Wb
Hallo guys! Meet again with Anggarda Paramita or Anggi, on my blog which is entitled “Knowledge Is Power!”.

This time, I will still discuss about the name. the difference is, this time I will discuss about “Naming Tradition”.

Have you ever heard the behind name of a child is taken from his or her father name? I think you have heard it. Even in almost every country has such a tradition. It is a natural tradition, I have heard the tell about name from  a man who gaves his son about his last name. I asked to him “Why did you give your lastname to the name of this baby?”. He answer my question “Because I did not give birth to him, he is not come out of my body, so that he become my blood and people know he is my child, then I gave my last name for him.”
That reason makes sense in my opinion, it is true that the reality is like that. The father could not give birth to him, but his blood flowed in the body of the child, so father wanted to signify that the child also belonged to him.

Lots of naming tradition in Indonesia. One of the unique is the naming of the Javanese or Sundanese in Indonesia. If they are descendants of nobility, they pinned the names of their children with the first name Raden for boys, Raden Ajeng for the name of girls, and many more. Can also be given the title with Sultan. I am more interested in Javanese names, because I come from Esat Java. In my city, people call older people do not use their real name, but with title names or nicknames title, that is what a unique. For example, my grandfather was named “Suwarno” but people never called “Pak Suwarno, Pak Warno, or mbah Warno” they were more familiar with the call “Pak Carik or mbah Carik”. I do not really know what they are means, I have not had time to asked, but, I know about such calls is form no respect.

Not only the embedding in the original name, in Indonesia there is often naming outside of its original name. these calls are either intended to bullying or indeed love them. For example, bullying calls from friend. If there is a friend who is thin, small, then he will be called cungkring or boncel. If his friend is fat, so big, then he will be called a ndut or a gembul. So naming calss is not only seen from the name of birth, but can be seen from their physical.

But remember friends. Such calls should not be intended to mock your friend’s shortcomings. Give them the appropriate calls. Don’t let them not want to that call, don’t let you hurt your friends.

Okay, what else is the unique naming tradition in your city which not many people is know? You can share and comment yaaaaaaayyyy!!! 

Good Luck~

Assalamualaikum. Wr.Wb I want to review about book resense. I read 5 book reviews. From 5 different people. In the book they reviewed I found very good motivation, bringing me to things that lead to goodness. Makes me know what I have to live in this life. The books they introduce are highly recommended for everyone to read, their books are universal for all people. Reading reviews is very important because it can increase knowledge and increase the willingness to read the book we want, because each book must have different benefits. The reviewers of this book should be appreciated because it helps us explore the contents of the book that we don't know about.  Following my experience and review I read reviews from friends, hopefully motivating friends and being useful. Thanks for read. Share and comment guys!

Education : Indonesia vs Africa

Education in Indonesia may be different from other countries. What can make it different? Well here I will explain briefly what the difference is. We take the example of differences in education in Indonesia with education in Africa. No wonder Indonesia is superior because in Africa the economy is weak. Then the economy is one of the determinants of the development of education in an area. Technology in Africa may also be inadequate, so there is a significant difference between Indonesian and African education. But what is more interesting is the perspective or mindset can also affect the development of education in an area. The very hot weather in Africa with vast vacant land is really difficult for humans there to develop, all that they want to do is lack of facilities. That is the main cause of lack of education there. Gratefully Indonesia is still safe with the abundance of nature and the appropriate weather, so that it can perform normal activities in general.
