Kauman
Kauman is a typical village name used by some regencies and municipalities in Central and East Java to name an area where pious Muslim communities are concentrated.
A Kauman village is usually located on the west side of a town square with a mosque adjacent to the square.
Some etymologists assume the name Kauman is an abbreviation of "kaum iman" meaning "faithful/pious people".
