Balinese Names

Unraveling the Mystery of Wayans and Mades: Discover the fascinating tradition behind Balinese names, where each moniker carries a unique significance.

Balinese names are designed to have an order, with the birth order name being used to address one another. This tradition does not consider gender.

Here is a simple explanation of the Balinese naming system:

Birth order names:

Wayan, Putu, or Gede for firstborn children

Made, Kadek, or Nengah for second-born children.

Nyoman or Komang for third-born children.

Ketut for fourth-born children.

Prefixes:

I for males.

Ni for females.

Example:

I Wayan is the firstborn son.

Ni Made is the second-born daughter.

Note: Balinese people do not have family names.
