Abstract

This study aims to describe the changing pattern of Javanese proper names in Solo or Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. The changing pattern of proper names occurs due to the factors of modernization, religion and the environment. Javanese names in the past were more influenced by the birth order of the child, the situation when the baby was born, wayang characters, and positive meanings. Baby names predominantly use patterns, such as Eko for the first child, Dwi for the second child, Tri for the third child, Catur for the fourth child, Ponco for the fifth child and Sapto for the sixth child. This pattern of proper names is found in many names born before the year 2000. This is proven based on research conducted in January - March 2023 in Solo (Surakarta) with a sampling of 8000 names. Along with the times, this pattern of naming proper names began to decrease or experienced a trend that was adjusted to the modern era. Currently, Javanese names are dominated by English, Arabic and naming trends obtained from books on names, current famous figures and other sources such as the internet and social media. This research uses Grounded Research method of qualitative approach, descriptive-analytic type. From this research, it is concluded that Javanese people, especially Solo as one of the cities in Central Java with Javanese culture and language that is known to be refined, are experiencing a trend of changes in naming themselves to children born in the modern era.
