Waruno, the word is also used in the second line of the first stanza of MN IV's Wedhatama, a text that all priyayi tended to have memorised (at least the first few pada of it)
mingkar mingkur ing angkara

Subject: etymology of the name (Su-)Mardi
Dear all,
I urgently need to find out the etymology of _Mardi_
that appeared in the name of various organizations in
the 20th century, and also in personal names, in the
latter case often with additional prothetic _Su-_.
The first mentioned organizational names were typically
Javanese, and I assume that the personal name too,
particularly when augmented to _Sumardi_, is Javanese.
However, the name appears all over the Archipelago,
also in Malaysia (particularly in Sarawak).
I haven't found _mardi_ in either New or Old Javanese
dictionaries. Could it be cognate with _Mardiyah_
that is apparently of Arabic origin?
Thanks beforehand for any help.
All the best,
Waruno
