Honorifics

As with many significant historical and respected figures in Javanese culture, the name of a ruler is usually preceded by honorifics – in most cases the usage is of Sri Sultan before the name. In full titles the first Hamengkubuwono was titled:

"Ngarsadalem Sampeyandalem Hingkang Sinuhun Kangjeng Sultan Hamengkubuwono, Senopati Ing Ngalaga Ngabdurrahman Sayidin Panatagama Kalifatulah, Hingkang Jumeneng Kaping I".

Etymology

thumb|Guard of the Sultan (ca 1880)

For some Javanese, the name has been interpreted as having the following components:

Hamangku: pleased to serve the people
Hamengku: protect the people in a just way
Hamengkoni: ready to take responsibility of a leader
Buwono: the Javanese universe

Such an explanation does not necessarily coincide with strict etymology of the word.
