The name is a symbol of a culture. It represents a specific identity or affiliation that is deeply rooted in the cultural context. Names can be derived from various sources such as geographical features, mythological characters, or personal traits, which are often reflective of the cultural values and traditions of a society. The name of Banten community is a symbol of the Banten culture. Banten community generally uses two regional languages: Banten Javanese and Banten Sundanese.
