The five names of the villages are Kebantenan Village, Pamahan Village, Pondok Benda Village, Bojong Sari Village, and Jatikramat Village. The overall theological value in naming the village names is based on the relationship between the two great Islamic empires on the island of Java, namely the Cirebon Kingdom and the Banten Kingdom. All stages of theology adopted in the formation of the names/toponyms of the five villages in Jatiasih are the stages of dynamism originating from tombs, people, to sacred trees.
