Balinese Names

In Bali there is special naming system which different than most of the world. For instance they do not use a surname or family name . In fact there is also no first name. There are four names only. Yes only 4. Which means first, second, third and fourth child. This is based on Hinduism's caste system. Balinese people are Hindu but they are not really following caste system as it is in India. But the names comes from Sanskrit or Hindi languages. 

Balinese Names

I and Ni means like Mr. and Mrs. in English

1. First born child       Wayan - Putu, Gede, Ni Luh, Iluh, Luh,
2. Second born child  Made  - Kadek, Adek, Ade, Nengah,
3. Third born child      Komang - Nyoman, Man, Mang,
4. Forth born child      Ketut   - Tut,

What if you have fifth kid? They just return to Wayan again and if sixth become Made again and so on. The other name is in fact peoples real name next to this names. It is not a family name. For example I Made Surita. Surita is the real name but they call each other mostly with these four birth order names. So if you call the person Surita even their relatives can not know who you talking about sometimes.

Also there are some other names based on caste or regional  things or pointing their elder relatives hero, king, priest, noble, important person etc.. Such as Gusti, Dewa, Dwi, Bagus Ayu, Agung....
