Putuh

Putuh is a traditional Balinese name, often given to the fourth-born child in a family, regardless of gender. The Balinese naming system is unique, with names frequently indicating birth order. While 'Putuh' itself means 'white' or 'pure,' its primary function in Balinese culture is to denote the fourth position in the birth sequence. This system helps to identify an individual's place within the family structure and community.

Over time, while the birth-order naming tradition remains strong in Bali, the specific meaning of 'white' or 'pure' also contributes to the name's positive connotations. It is a name deeply rooted in Balinese cultural practices and is less commonly found outside of this specific cultural context.
