Hamengkubuwono () is the current dynasty of the Yogyakarta Sultanate in the Special Region of Yogyakarta of Indonesia. The reigning Sultan of Yogyakarta is the hereditary Governor of the Special Region (Act No. 13 of 2012, article 18 paragraph 1c)
Honorifics
As with many significant historical and respected figures in
Javanese culture, the name of a ruler is usually preceded by
honorifics – in most cases the usage is of
Sri Sultan before the name. In full titles the first Hamengkubuwono was titled:
" Ngarsadalem Sampeyandalem Hingkang Sinuhun Kangjeng Sultan Hamengkubuwono, Senopati Ing Ngalaga Ngabdurrahman Sayidin Panatagama Kalifatulah, Hingkang Jumeneng Kaping I".
Etymology
For some
Javanese people, the name has been interpreted as having the following components:
-
Hamangku: pleased to serve the people
-
Hamengku: protect the people in a just way
-
Hamengkoni: ready to take responsibility of a leader
-
Buwono: the Javanese universe
Such an explanation does not necessarily coincide with strict etymology of the word.
