DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Knowing one’s origin coupled with an appropriate name gives one a sense of great pride and belonging. In the United States in particular most people with African ancestry have started moving away from the traditional English names which is a clear sign that there is a yearning to associate with mother Africa. The beginning of this major shift came with the acceptance of Islam and the push for equality among the races. The names carefully chosen for this book have both reason and meaning which makes them more appropriate and precise; heredity can therefore easily be traced back a few generations through the names included in this book. The question what is in a name has been given broader and more appropriate meaning. The choice for those who are keen to give their offspring African names with meaning has been made wider and easier.
