Indonesian names : ウィキペディア英語版 | Indonesian names
Indonesian names and naming customs reflect the multicultural and the polyglot nature of Indonesia which is an archipelago of over 17,000 islands. It is the world's fourth most populous nation comprising about 365 tribal-ethnic groups, containing enormous ethnic, religious, and linguistic diversity. There are over sixty ethnic groups officially recognized in the country, each with their own culture, customs, and language, with the Javanese being the largest single group (40%). ==Honorifics== In addition to the usual ranks and professional titles, it is customary to add ''Pak'' or ''Bapak'' and ''Saudara'' for addressing men, and ''Bu'' or ''Ibu'' for addressing women. ''Pak'' and ''Bapak'' are literally translated as "father", with ''Bapak'' being the more formal and used in speech much like the English word "sir". ''Saudara'' is a term of greater respect and formality, literally translated as "kinsman". ''Ibu'' is literally translated as "mother" and is used in speech much like the English words "ma'am" and "lady". If a person's name is unknown, one can call an Indonesian man ''Bapak'' or an Indonesian woman ''Ibu''. Another informal way to address significantly older people is to call them ''Om'' and ''Tante'', which mean "uncle" and "aunt". The terms are Dutch-influenced and quite commonly used in big cities. However, local honorifics continue to be employed throughout Indonesia, such as the casual general way ''Kakak'' is used for older sister/brother; in Javanese ''Mbak'' is used for older sister. ''Mas'' is used for older brother; in Sumatran Malay or Minangkabau cultural spheres it corresponds to ''Abang'' for older brother, but it is common to call a becak driver, angkot driver, vegetable vendor, fishmonger or hawker ''abang''. Additionally, 'Gus' (from ''bagus''), as used to address former president 'Gus Dur', is usually used exclusively to address honorable Eastern Javanese people with strong traditional and religious links.
