Abstract

Place naming is an aspect of language use that represents the relationship between humans, the environment, and culture. Within a community, place names serve not only as geographical markers but also embody meanings that reflect the community's worldview and experiences. Over time, the meanings embedded in place names tend to shift and risk being overlooked. This study aims to examine the lexical and cultural meanings of village names in Kebumen Regency and to identify their naming characteristics. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, utilizing theoretical frameworks from toponymy and semantics. The data consisted of village names from the Alian and Karangsambung Districts. Primary data sources included the official Kebumen Regency Government website and informants knowledgeable about the history and background of the village names, while secondary sources comprised village archives, books, and relevant scholarly articles. Data collection involved document analysis and interviews, supported by recording and note-taking techniques. Data analysis followed the Miles & Huberman model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that all the village names possess both lexical and cultural meanings. Lexical meanings relate to the fundamental definitions of the name's constituent elements referring to natural conditions, flora, fauna, objects, or human activities whereas cultural meanings reflect the community's relationship with the environment, as well as their experiences, beliefs, and aspirations. Furthermore, the characteristics of village names based on Stewart's typology found five naming categories: descriptive names, incident names, commemorative names, euphemistic names, and folk etymology.

Abstract

A biography of the modern Javanese period, written in prose, not only tells the story of a person's life but also contains advice, testamentary, and even the identity of the Javanese people. This research aims to reveal that in three biographical texts: Serat Kulapratama, Kyai Pandhanarang, and Lelampahan Dalem Sasradiningrat. This research uses Gadamer's qualitative-hermeneutic design. Data were collected using the Baca, Simak, and Catat (BSC) technique, then analyzed using the Miles & Huberman analysis model, comprising data collection, data reduction, and data presentation. The results are: 1) four categories of testamentary: ethical and moral testamentary, testamentary of responsibility and leadership, Javanese religious and spiritual testamentary, and testamentary of social and cultural life; and 2) Javanese identities are not lost, but are integrated and undergo a reinterpretation of meaning in the present. Individual ideal identities, narima lan prasaja, can be aligned with adaptive and minimalist lifestyles, as well as with efforts to protect the environment and to promote anti-consumption. Collective identities in relationships, gotong royong, and tata krama, are understood through the concepts of harmony, teamwork, empathy, and emotional intelligence. Spiritual identities such as laku prihatin, eling lan waspada are defined as simple lifestyles, the ability to manage stress, and the awareness of worldly temptations, all of which are achieved by always remembering God. Individual, social, and spiritual values are integrated into collective consciousness, inherited, and form the attitude of today's Javanese society, which is more adaptive and reflective. The theoretical implications of this study explain that biography is not just a text that records a person's life, but also a medium for conveying messages and for testamentary purposes, describing the identity of Javanese society from the perspective of the character. In practical terms, this research provides guidelines and mandates from ancestors for the next generation to live by.
