Most Indonesians, particularly from the western parts, do not use family names. Only some ethnic groups maintain family names, such as Bataks, Nias, Mentawai, some Dayaks, and most ethnic groups in eastern Indonesia (except in Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, and some groups in Sulawesi, such as the Butonese).
