Reference Profile

Etymology

From the Javanese aris, 'calm, gentle.'

Notable Historical Usage

Java received Islam through its north-coast ports from the fourteenth century, and the tradition credits its spread to the Wali Songo, the nine saints. Javanese naming kept its own vocabulary and its own sense of the auspicious while taking in Arabic names, so both run side by side.

Cultural / Regional Usage

Widely used across Indonesian Muslim communities.
