When i was younger, and i have to admit even now, when i wrote my name, my full name i always feel annoyed at my parents for giving me such long name and why does it have to be star with an 'A'. A name that starts with an A usually always the first one to be called in school and i used to hate that because i dont have time to prepare it. Another complain about a long name is that, you get tired of it, especially if you have to do colour the round bits on answering sheet with 2B pencil. You also get tired correcting people, teacher, even your friends when they pronounced your name wrong.
But all that complained reminds me the reason why my parents naming me with such long name that hard to pronounce even for Indonesian people. it has hidden meaning that im sure im the only one who has a name like, well not 'della' im sure many people named della.
Andrillasari Vidella Astoeti Munartomy full name.. isnt it unique and beautiful (narcistic mode)
Andrillasari actually consist of three words that i found myself speechless when my father told me.
An is from Anugrah, meaning it's a 'gift'.
Dr is for Dari or in English is 'from' and
illa is Illahi, or 'God'. so if you put it together
Andrilla is
Anugerah
Da
ri
Illahi. Nice Right? As for the
Sari, its actally originated from my mum's name Shinta Puspita
sari, that shows how much my dad loves my mum. All my sisters actually has Sari on it.
Vidella, hmmm.. this is the hard one, because both my dad and mum contributed on that name. my mum claimed she's got it when she was reading this magazine that she read on an article about a women whose named was
Vidella, (i, actually thought i was the only one that has that name, i mean come on, della: so many, Vidella: not so many) a really hard working lass. my mum fell in love with that name, that she has to name one of her daughter with
Vidella. So, when my mum was pregnant with me, she told my dad about this name thing, and my dad agreed only with different reason. his was because the year that i was born, which is in the year of Nelson Ma
della (1990) . he thought by naming me after one of the great leader in the world, he was hoping that, someday, his little girl will become a fine leader herself and so, vidella it is.
Astoeti, same like Sari, Astoeti is from my dad's side. all my girl cousins from my dad's family has Astoeti on their name. So it wasnt a surprise when my dad told me behind that name.
Munarto, no need an introduction here, Munarto is my dad's name and im proud wearing that name, it's a shame though that i dont have a brother,, lol
so, that's my name, and every time i started to feel annoyed at my parents i always thinks about the reason behind it, and it always put the smile back on my face and it makes me prouder than ever for having such a great name and someday i hope i can make my dad and mum proud. starting with the graduation certificate which insyaallah i will be receiving it next year. and on that day i will be proud seeing my name on that paper with a few adding alphabets on it after Munarto. ;)
