The Balinese Names

balinese ceremony

Bali known as an island with a strong bound of solidarity ,respects and a very tide of harmony living in their social lives. Rituals and religious believes have hardly been ever separated from their daily life and activities.one of the most crucial ceremony in the whole human Balinese life is a  three(3) months ceremony for the baby.this ceremony is represented to the ancestors who reincarnate to the baby body,having a full  Balinese name and allowing the baby to touch the ground (as a mother earth) for the first time since the baby born. Generally Balinese speaks Balinese Language (bahasa Bali) as a daily speaking language  and Indonesian language ( Bahasa Indonesia) as national mother language in formal situations such as at school,government offices,Bank,post office etc.now days, many of Balinese speaks English for most and others language such as german,French ,Russian,chinesse and many more languages  due to the demand on the tourism industry.

The Balinese names as Local ID.

As we talking about the Balinese names,The Balinese people has their own local Balinese names which describes sort of birth in their family such as putu,gede,kadek ,komang ,ketut and so on,before its followed by their full name or secondary names and of course,often you hear those specific names while you are in Bali.Formerly, those sort of birth names are used for the traditional Balinese family planning and supposed to have  four(4) kids in the entire family.but nowdays,according the Indonesian Government family planning program “2 kids is enough” , the third and the fourth Balinese names soon will be reduced in usage or could be gone. normally in old passion Balinese names are not using or put the family name in their name,but some family starting to use a family name at the end of their Balinese names.it has changed a lots, it is because of how important to put their family name for their next generation or might because of modern influences from the western style name.and also could be really important to have a family name in their balinese name in order to organize a passport  or other legal papers for those who want to stay,study or work in foreign country.

Here they are the 10th Balinese names :

1.the first born baby has 4( four) names,called:

  • WAYAN,Taken from the origin word of “wayahan “ means the eldest or the most ripe if taken from the words of fruits and used for the girl and boy name.

  • LUH,Taken from the origin word of “luwe” in Balinese it means female and used only for the women or girl name.

  • GEDE,means “huge”,the biggest or the oldest and commonly used for the boy name.

  • PUTU,taken from the word “cucu” means the grand child of the family.so it is more easy to call the first baby “ucu” or “cucu” from the grandparents. and costumized to putu.it used for a both gender name the girl and the boy.

2.the 2nd born baby has 3(three) names,called:

  • MADE,Taken from the word “madia” or the middle in English translation .it means the kinds who are born in the middle or means the second born.those name are for a both gender ,boy and the girl’s name.

  • NENGAH, which means in the middle or the origin word of and this name is also for the boy and girl’s name.

  • KADEK, this name is the costumization from the name of Made.taken from the origin word “kade or adek” .it means the your brother or sister and this name is used for a both gender boy and girl.

3.the 3rd born baby has 2(two) names,called:

  • NYOMAN,taken from the origin word of uman,means sisa or the rest.according the ancient Balinese life was suggested to have or better to have 3 kids and therefore would be expected much more matures or wise for the parent for leading or a better conduct to their family life.

  • KOMANG, it is the costumization name from the name of nyoman ,cause the name of komang more used for a modern Balinese name for the 3rd born child. Due to the ancient herbal medicines were not effectively prevent the pregnancy and an abortion matter is something really taboo and forbidden among the Balinese society.some family were hardly to stop their pregnancy wife till they have more than 3 children.so then come the fourth.

4.the 4th born baby has the only name called:

  • KETUT,taken from the word of kitut,means the bonus or also can be mean really the end of the rest.or it could be means as the belove child.the word of “kitut” in Balinese taken from the last or the lowest group of banana fruit.

So what happen if they have more than 4 children in the family? to named them has to reverse back again to the first name system and having the same circle and so on.it could be have 2 wayans or 2 kadeks in the same family.it sounds interesting,isn’t it? it is no wonder to have the same initial names in entire family in Bali.

The Balinese names also has an Article name which is refers to their gender.commonly used for the Sudra’s name but also some used for the Ksatrya names. the article ‘I’ in the Balinese name is refers to a male names, such as “I made…or I gusti…and so on. and the article “NI” is refers to a female names such as : Ni Luh…,Ni Komang…,and so on.All those names are applied in every castes level.it would be begun by their caste’s title  and then followed by their sort of birth name in the family, such as:

  • –Brahmana name : Ida Bagus Gede….,Ida ayu(Dayu) Putu…or and so on.
  • –Ksatrya name: Anak Agung Gede…,I gusti putu…,Dewa ketut…and so on
  • –Waisya name : Ngakan gede…,kompyang putu…, Sang Nyoman…, and so on.
  • –Sudra name : has no title’s name and it is directly begun with their sort of birth name in their family as explained above.

Many of things has changed in this modern lives including the way of giving the children’s name. in the past,our parent were easily gave their children a  name as they want or thought as long as not confused them when they call their children’s name.but now days ,mostly parent are really carefully choose or took the name for their children.sometimes, they have  to ask the priest or wise people,or taken from the sanskrit name or  what’s the popular now? some of baline children’s name is influenced by western name such as : kadek cindy….,or Putu robby adi….,komang vina…and so on.then combined with some others Balinese name.therefore,next time when you are in Bali and meet the Balinese for the first time, it would be no wonder at all if they introduce their balinese name to you then easily for you to recognize that they are Balinese people.

“ It is a truly greener part of Bali and you have a very beautiful Green landscape in this island”,said Michael enthusiastic.as we passed Seririt town and heading up hill drive to Busungbiu sub regency. further on driving through Kekeran Village and continued to a steep narrow winding road at Subuk village.it would be surprise and spoile our eyes with a stunning view of its green landscape of rice terraces field. we definitely got to stop for a several places just to take some pictures. and enjoy the cool breeze of the high altitude of this area.

   Within an hour and half drive, we finally arrive at Pupuan town.it also has another amazing rice terraces view point. where it is located a few hundreds meters just before the town. it has also some homestays surrounding. For tourist who want to spent some times in this area and to visit Budhist Temple near by this town with its huge sleeping Budha.

Further on the next up hill drive to Belimbing Village as we passed  the town, the typical high altitude vegetation such as clove ,cacao and coffee plantatations along the way are adding our green landscape journey of this route until eventually we arrive at Belimbing Village.do you know what amazing is? in this area ,as far as your eyes can see ,the more rice fields you would catch to see surrounding of this village. up and down side, left and right side from where you stand is just rice field. so that’s way this village is really famous for their rice field trekking area in the west part of Bali.

Using Google Location

After awhile feel enough with this view ,we got have to go for our destination we going to.By taking a short cut road (got helped by the google map) to Wanagiri village through a very small road or we called it “a typical village road” .It helps and leads us to  the place in the middle of nowhere ,in the foot of Mount Batukaru where the natural environment and a peaceful place are preserved. side by side with the simplicity of local Balinese people unseparated from their tradition and culture.

Finally we have to say  good bye and  I have to got back from this peaceful village and heading along the same way back while try to find some more interesting spots where I can suggest to next  other clients who willing to stay on this village surrounding or just make a full day trip of  green Landscapes of west Bali rice terraces.

blog, cultural tour·

NGABEN ,The Balinese cremation ceremonyngaben

Ngaben is one of the greatest funeral ritual  ceremony performed  in Bali. And also as a series of the human rituals for whom already died. Ngaben is a purification ceremony for  the soul or Atma  at the first phase as a Hinduism duty to their ancestors with the procession of burning the corpses.basically the aim of  this ceremony is to send back the ancestor’s soul (atma) to the place of origin (Brahman)as a universal source of life. the Ngaben itself is a fusion from hindu religion teachings with Balinese cultural custom.

Ngaben is commonly  held by family  or relatives from the deceased as a form of respect and  honor from their children to their parents or ancestors.this ceremony is mostly held with a lots of joy,happiness and no more sadness from the family.cause in Balinese believe ,by crying or keep sad over the deceased will became an obstacles for the journey of  the soul (atma) to where it belongs(Brahman) and to achieve  the final released(moksha) or to reincarnate in the next life.

Ngaben procession and the equipments

This ceremony is always completed with  an elaborately  colorful decorated  cremation tower or Bade or wadah which is used to put the dead body and normally lifted up  by a lots of people and  paraded along the way  from the house to the village’s cemetery  and  Lembu as a place to placed the coffin of the dead body during the burning process in the cemetery after taken out from the cremation tower. Then all of those equipments will be burning together beside with the corpses.

This rituals process is a symbol to release the soul from the biological body which is made from the five elements  such as solid(pertiwi),liquid(apah),heat(teja),air or gas( bayu) and vacuum matters(akasa). And this process of sending  back those five elements to where it belongs called Ngaben, an original word of ngabuin  which means turn into ashes.the ashes  collected  into the  holed  gold coconut and coupled with some holy symbols  called sekah  is finally released to the ocean or river  as a symbol of universe  and the way the heaven  and also as a  holy  place for the purification to freeing the soul from the dirt and earthly bonds.

After the all procession is done,all of  the family or relatives may pray for the ancestor’s souls in the  house family  temple quietly. That is  way the family bond in Balinese  family is very strong ,cause they always honor and respect to their ancestors and parents as well. Balinese also believes that the souls of the ancestor will be reincarnate into the cycle of family bond ,usually a grand child is a reincarnation from their parents or ancestors.

The implementation of  Ngaben ceremony in Balinese life

Ngaben is not always done immediately after someone died, except for the highest casts in Bali which is normally doing this ceremony 3 days after the death. But it will take a few years to do this ceremony  for the lowest casts due to a lots of preparation, costs and take so much energy to bring this ceremony realized. normally the deceased will be buried in the ground for a few years or cremated directly after died  in the village’s cemetery(mekingsan ring  geni or stored in the fire) and then the soul of the dead will stay at the Dalem(the Death) temple  until the family  has enough money to do this ceremony.

Now days  Ngaben in Bali generally carried out  often together  with the other village’s member (public cremation) to afford the costs ,preparation ,energy and etc. normally they working together for a lots of preparations from the beginning process  until  comes the main day of the ceremony and  well organized by the structural organization in the village. Every expenses  will  be counted per death body or deceased   in the family .the spacious day for doing Ngaben ceremony will be choosen by the highest priest in Hindu religion also called Pedanda through some consultation and combination with the Balinese calendar .
