Name meaning and origin

Origin

Javanese (Indonesia)

Meaning

a masculine Javanese name meaning revelation or the one who receives divine revelation — from the Arabic wahyu meaning divine revelation, particularly the revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad, and the Javanese suffix -di indicating a male person or agent; the Arabic-Islamic element wahyu was absorbed into Javanese naming practice following the gradual Islamisation of Java between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, and names combining Arabic roots with Javanese suffixes are characteristic of the syncretic Javanese-Islamic naming tradition called kejawen; this cultural synthesis — in which Islamic, Hindu-Buddhist, and indigenous Javanese elements are woven together — is one of the defining features of Javanese civilisation
