You don’t think it’s possible that the name relates to one of the elite members of this family, do you?

There’s also a village by that name in Java. A SOEBARKAH member of the military was a coffin-bearer at the funeral of Suharto.

Try Google.

Yes, quite possible. I'll try to check with my less Internet-experienced older sister, who lived in Indonesia for her younger years to see what I can learn. (I was born in the Netherlands after our colonial family came to believe (~1950) that to stay was to be killed.) We used to be wealthy Javans, but were always hard workers, too.

Thanks for the link.
