A name that means "flower (javanese-indonesian feminine)".

Sekar is from the Javanese sekar — flower (high-register / Krama Javanese). Sekar is one of the Javanese feminine names — central to traditional Javanese courtly poetry + classical heritage. The sekar tradition refers to the Javanese poetic genre of Sekar Macapat (songs of macapat meters) — one of the forms of Javanese classical literature dating from the 14th century.
