RE: Why Balinese babies are bald : Meaningfull traditions on a dreamy island

in #photography7 years ago

anyway, it's good to learn about the culture and tradition. And I have another question about Balinese, I remember everyone has the same name right? It goes like the eldest must have this name and the youngest is Ketut. Is that true?

Sort:  

Yes, there have 4 different names, first is Wayan or Putu, second is Made, third is Komang and thourth Ketut . If there is a fifth child he will be called Made again.
Luckily they all have nickname so we can make a difference
