Talking briefly about African names is not an easy task. After all, Africa is a huge continent inhabited different peoples. Nowadays, there are more than three thousand tribal and clan groups that have different traditions, religions, languages, morals, and customs. And names. Therefore, we can only talk about general origin stories of African names.

African naming traditions.

Meaning of African names difficult to overestimate. At all times, the peoples of Africa have given them magical power. According to their ideas, what name is given to a person determines his further fate. For example, Tanzanians often name their children after presidents; one of the most popular names now is the name of former Tanzanian President Nyerere. Probably the mothers and fathers of little Nyerere hope that the name will have positive influence on the fate of their child.

But the majority of the African population has the custom of changing their name several times during their lives. It is believed that until adulthood or the initiation rite, the child does not have a real name. Children's African names are rather nicknames With playful meaning– Panya (mouse), Mapengo (gap-toothed), Kidagaa (fish). Moreover, girls and boys are called the same names. After seven or forty days, sometimes after a year, the child is given a new name. This could be the name of one of the parents or relatives. During the initiation rite, the teenager receives a permanent name. Interestingly, twins are usually given special names. People firmly believe that the birth of identical children is not complete without participation supernatural powers. For example, among Swahili-speaking peoples, twins are often called Kurva and Doto.

Names-“relatives” and names-“titles”.

In eastern Africa, there are traces of the custom of giving adult members of society two “secret” names, thanks to which kinship was established and social status. The man received one of these names from his father and passed it on to his son. The second was from my mother and was not passed on to anyone. Thus, partial or complete coincidence of “secret” names spoke of blood relationship.

Many names in Africa are not gender specific. But there are tribes where there are male and female names. Yes, y numerous people Wolof boys are called Samba, Demba, Latir, Yoro, and girls are called Ngone, Kumba, Tako, Yasin, Kodu. Sometimes animal names are added to names to emphasize distinctive feature human - Njai-gende (Njai-lion), Sise-ngari (Sise-bull).

Muslim and christian names in Africa.

IN different times The main world religions - Islam and Christianity - spread across the African continent. They brought their names to the peoples of Africa.

African names. African girl names and their meanings

Attention!

Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailings, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magical forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for conducting magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).

On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this.

Note! We do not engage in healing or magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.

The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in written form, training through an esoteric club and writing books.

Sometimes people write to us that they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website, in the club materials, we always write that you need to be an honest, decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.

People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The times have come when slander pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud.

There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities have not yet been able to cope with the growing influx of "Deception for profit" madness.

Therefore, please be careful!

A correctly chosen name has a strong positive impact on a person’s character, aura and destiny. Actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and condition, strengthens health, removes various negative programs of the unconscious. But how to choose the perfect name?

Despite the fact that in culture there are poetic interpretations of what female names mean, in reality the influence of the name on each girl is individual.

Sometimes parents try to choose a name before birth, preventing the child from developing. Attempts to use astrology are no longer applicable; astrology and numerology for choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate over the centuries.

Christmastide calendars, holy people, without consulting a seeing, perspicacious specialist, do not provide any real assistance in assessing the influence of names on the fate of a child.

Popular lists, happy, beautiful, melodious female names are essentially generalizations, and completely turn a blind eye to the individuality, energy, and soul of the child.

Beautiful and modern African names should primarily suit the child, and not relative external criteria of beauty and fashion. Who don't care about your child's life.

Various characteristics according to statistics - positive features name, negative traits name, choice of profession by name, the influence of a name on business, the influence of a name on health, the psychology of a name can only be considered in the context of a deep analysis of the character, energy structure, task for life and the type of a particular child.

Name Compatibility Topic(and not the characters of people) is an absurdity that turns the interaction inside out different people internal mechanisms of influence of a name on the state of its bearer. And it cancels the entire psyche, unconscious, energy and behavior of people. Reduces the entire multidimensionality of human interaction to one false characteristic.

Meaning of the name does not give full impact, it is only a small part of the impact. For example Ife (love) does not mean that the girl will be happy in family life, and bearers of other names are unhappy. The name can weaken her health, block her heart center and she will not be able to give and receive love. On the contrary, another girl will be helped to solve problems related to love or family, which will make life and achieving goals much easier. The third girl may not have any effect at all, whether there is a name or not. Etc. Moreover, all these children can be born on the same day. And have the same astrological, numerological and other characteristics. And the same name. But fates are different.

The most popular African names for girls are also misleading. 95% of girls are called names that do not make their fate easier. You can only focus on the child’s innate character, spiritual vision and the wisdom of a specialist. And experience, experience and once again the experience of understanding what is happening.

Secret female name , as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration is revealed in a special bouquet primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of a name. And if this name destroys a child, then no matter how beautiful, melodious with the patronymic, astrologically accurate, blissful it is, it will still be harmful, destroy character, complicate life and burden fate.

Switch to the value of life

It is difficult to imagine something more original and exotic than male and female African names. Zuberi, Kwasi, Nsia, Ukhoma, Olujimi, Ambala - to the ears of Europeans and Russians all this sounds extremely unusual and extravagant. There is such a big discrepancy between the names of Africa and European countries has quite logical reasons. To explain it, one need only look at the countless cultural, ethnic, historical and linguistic differences between the inhabitants of these continents. In fairness, it is worth noting that in last years beautiful African names for boys and girls are becoming more common for. Many of them are borrowed from European languages. By naming their children Western names, African parents are trying to provide them with a favorable future in a progressive world. In addition, superstitious natives believe that in this way they attract good luck, gaining the opportunity to repeat the fate of successful Europeans.

However, one should not think that native African names for girls and boys are losing their relevance. They still form the bulk of the Aboriginal nomenclature and continue to be the most popular among the population of this continent.

The meaning of modern male and female African names

The differences between European and African names lie not only in sound, but also in semantic meaning. Aborigines very often give their children unattractive nicknames, thus trying to protect them from evil spirits. Because of this, many popular African names and surnames have negative meaning. For example, Nkurina means “nonsense” and Owoor means “greedy”. However, the majority of Aboriginal names still have positive content. Their meaning may be associated with various natural phenomena, insects, time, personal characteristics and so on. For example, the beautiful African female name Monifa translates as “lucky”, and Ozumair means “rainbow”.
