Name meaning and origin
- Origin
- Javanese (Indonesia)
- Meaning
- a feminine Javanese name meaning the faithful one or she who is true — from the Sanskrit satya meaning truth, faithfulness, and integrity, with the feminine suffix -wati; in Javanese court ethics the quality of setya — faithfulness and constancy — is among the highest virtues, particularly in the context of devotion to one's master, spouse, and community; Setyawati appears as a character name in the wayang shadow puppet tradition derived from the Mahabharata, where it is borne by figures of great virtue and loyalty, and the name thus connects the bearer both to the Sanskrit tradition of India and to the distinctively Javanese interpretation and elaboration of that tradition in wayang, literature, and performing arts
