Sri
Auspicious feminine title (Javanese) — Sri (Javanese, from Sanskrit shri 'auspicious/Lakshmi') is the foundational Javanese feminine name and honorific prefix. Used standalone and in compound names (Sri Mulyani — Indonesia's longtime Finance Minister; Sri Rejeki — auspicious-fortune).
Sinta
Sita (Javanese form, from Ramayana) — Sinta (Javanese, alt spelling of Sita) is the Javanese-Indonesian form of Sita, heroine of the Ramayana. The Javanese wayang (shadow-puppet theater) preserves the Hindu Ramayana epic in Indonesian Muslim culture — Sinta is a foundational feminine name across all Indonesian religions.
Shinta
An Indonesian spelling of Sinta, the local form of Sita, the devoted heroine of the Ramayana whose faithfulness and grace make her an ideal of womanhood across the archipelago. The Sh spelling reflects Sanskrit-Indonesian transliteration, and both forms name the same beloved figure of Javanese wayang shadow-theatre.
Cinta
Love, simply and directly, from the Indonesian word cinta. To name a daughter Cinta is to name her love itself, an ideal sister to other names that do the same across cultures, from Hebrew Ahava to Korean Sarang and Welsh Cerys. Few names state their meaning so plainly or so warmly.

Veda
Knowledge, the sacred scriptures that are the foundation of Hindu civilisation — Veda is the word for the oldest and most sacred texts in Hinduism, the four collections of hymns, rituals, and philosophy revealed to the ancient rishis.
