Hamengkubuwono ( jv, ꦲꦩꦼꦁꦑꦸꦨꦮꦟ) is the current
ruling royal house of the
Yogyakarta Sultanate in the
Special Region of Yogyakarta of
Indonesia
Indonesia, officially the Republic of Indonesia, is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania between the Indian and Pacific oceans. It consists of over 17,000 islands, including Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, and parts of Borneo and New Gui ...
. The reigning Sultan of Yogyakarta is the hereditary
Governor of the Special Region (Act No. 13 of 2012, article 18 paragraph 1c)
with terms of 5 years (article 25 paragraph 1) without bounded by periodic provision (article 25 paragraph 2), as normally applied to such public office.

Honorifics
As with many significant historical and respected figures in

, the name of a ruler is usually preceded by
honorifics
An honorific is a title that conveys esteem, courtesy, or respect for position or rank when used in addressing or referring to a person. Sometimes, the term "honorific" is used in a more specific sense to refer to an honorary academic title. It ...
– in most cases the usage is of ''Sri Sultan'' before the name. In full titles the first Hamengkubuwono was titled:
"''Ngarsadalem Sampeyandalem Hingkang Sinuhun Kangjeng Sultan Hamengkubuwono, Senopati Ing Ngalaga Ngabdurrahman Sayidin Panatagama Kalifatulah, Hingkang Jumeneng Kaping I''".
Etymology
For some
Javanese, the name has been interpreted as having the following components:
*Hamangku: pleased to serve the people
*Hamengku: protect the people in a just way
*Hamengkoni: ready to take responsibility of a leader
*Buwono: the Javanese universe
Such an explanation does not necessarily coincide with strict etymology of the word.
