Meaning & History
Sutanto comes in part from the Chinese surname Tan. The prefix Su is Javanese. The Su and to were used to make the name Indonesian but not eliminate the Chinese part. This name was built due to government mandates in Indonesia for Chinese to change their names to Indonesian ones. This name was made in the 1960s.
