Indonesia is a fantastic country that has caught the attention and stolen the hearts of many thanks to its diverse population and cultures spread across various islands. There’s far more to the place than just Bali! But if you’re drawn to Indonesian boy names, you probably know as much already. Here’s a fantastic selection to choose between.
Expecting your first-born? Eko could be perfect — it literally means “first child” (or “number one”). The name is suspected to be mostly of Javanese origin, but it also has links to Sanskrit and even Japanese languages.
Kulon is another Indonesian name, and it means “the West.” Could it be the perfect choice for Westerners who are appreciative of Indonesian culture and ways? Alternatively, it could make sense if your child was born facing the West.
Keeping with the same theme, Utara is an Indonesian name with the meaning “The North.” Whether you want to make a nod to Game of Thrones or you have another affinity for the north, this could be the name for you (or rather, your child).
Finally, Mego means “the clouds.” Apt for anyone who wants to remind their child to always shoot for the sky.
