Sastrowardoyo is a son of Sumarsongko H. Sastrowardoyo (born in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia) and Teresita M. Sastrowardoyo (born in Maasin, Iloilo, the Visayas, the Philippines), who were married at Calvary Baptist Church in New York City in 1962. One brother, Sabartomo D. Sastrowardoyo (1965–1986), died in an accident while a student at Cornell University in 1986. Another, Rahadyan Sastrowardoyo (b. 1963), is an editor, writer and photographer based in New York City.
Sastrowardoyo is a nephew of Soenario (1902–97), Indonesia's minister of foreign affairs from 1953 to 1955; and Subagio Sastrowardoyo (1924–95), a noted poet, writer, essayist and literary critic. He is also a cousin of Sunaryati Hartono (b. 1931) and Astrid Susanto (1936–2006), officials in the Indonesian government; and Marina Joesoef (b. 1958), an Indonesian artist.
Sastrowardoyo is a first cousin once removed of the Indonesian actress Dian Sastrowardoyo (b. 1982).
His family name is derived from sastra (Sanskrit, writings) and wardaya (Sanskrit, heart), so literally means "writings of the heart."
His paternal grandfather, Sutejo Sastrowardoyo (1876–1967), traced the family's ancestry back to 15th century Java.

But every son would have his motor cycle,
And daughters ride away on casual pillions.”
