AFRICAN Baby NAMES

[@Imesnaturals]

woow this's so beautiful what you are doing, for the first time in history someone is giving important information. I can't believe it Omg this's very helpful, thank you so much and GOD will bless you abundantly.

[@LegendZSA]

These names are proof that our African Cultures interrelate somehow. There are similar names with similar meanings but different spellings in different Afrcan Countries which you have already mentioned here.

I love the effort that you put into this. Really great video, thank you

[@abbyfultz1001]

My friend is Tanzanian-American. Her name is Imani meaning faith. It is a principle celebrated during Kwanza.

[@TulipByAnyName]

lovely!

[@fcafricanunion9915]

Why is Swahili apparently the most widely taught African language in the USA?

[@delilaaa_5906]

*My name is Delila, it is pronounced like that but spelled like that. I am Bosnian :) *

[@tahirahpowis8341]

My name is Tahirah and i am so glad you had the correct pronunciation in this video. So many people butcher my name yet, it so lovely when said correctly.

[@TulipByAnyName]

I'm so glad, your name is gorgeous!

[@martiniusafricanus1558]

Nice video. I'm trying to find a name for my son that will be born soon.

[@TulipByAnyName]

Thanks, and congratulations :)

[@gitongamukira3749]

Thank you so much just got names for my twins (daughters)

[@TulipByAnyName]

Congratulations! My pleasure!

[@MercyChiriiKenya200]

Thank you for the names ! I am Kenyan and we are expecting our Baby in December after many years of wait! If it’s a girl I will call her Imani meaning faith or Nia meaning purpose

[@minombreesminombre4878]

I love this! My favorites were Zakiya and Tahir! I visited Lesotho, a small country landlocked within South Africa and their names/naming culture fascinated me! The friend that we went with was named Kamohelo, which means "welcome". They said it was customary to give foreign visitors Sesotho names so they named my husband T'sepo (hope) and they named me Matabello (mother of great expectation). All the married women have a name with mother in the meaning (your husband's family gives you a new first name when you get married) and you name your first born (boy or girl) whatever the mom's married name is without the Ma (mother) part. Like, my firstborn's Sesotho name would be Tabello. Fascinating, huh? I think I got all those details right. I wasn't there for too long.

[@TulipByAnyName]

Alyssa Thys Absolutely fascinating! I love the tradition and meaning behind names.

[@euridececachimbombo5516]

My middle name is Tchissola(pronounced txi-sso-la) and it’s a name from the umbundu tribe in Angola, Africa.It means both love, happiness and peace.

[@EseKanayo]

Interesting video, my name is 'Ese' pronounce Eh-say, and it's Nigerian meaning 'God's Gift' from the language Urhobo. My favourite African names are Zuri and Kesienna x

[@TulipByAnyName]

+Ese Thanks, great name! Zuri is gorgeous!

[@danika3421]

[@melissa3289]

It's been a while since I saw one of your videos I was wondering if can do a list of names from Gautamala or Cambodia I am re doing my characters and I'm gonna have two male character from there and I can't even find the list on a baby name site. maybe you tell me the language I should look up? thanks!

[@TulipByAnyName]

Melissa Allan I don't know much about Cambodian names, but I did do a Spanish names video this month. Hopefully that will give you some ideas, good luck with your stories :)

[@melissa3289]

thank you I will check those out I think got some names that can sneak by as Cambodian lol Mike and Anwar? id have look them up see what origin they are from. I love that you have your vids all in an easy playlist so easy to find past lists lol happy naming! ps fun question are you the type that has no to name every doll stuff animal you had lol

[@TulipByAnyName]

Melissa Allan Happy naming to you too! Some of my first memories are of naming and renaming my dolls as a kid! I still name things like cars or random people if I don't know their names :p

[@melissa3289]

i used to always go through this huge baby name book I got when I was oung (before internet lol) I would highlight all the names I liked with pink pen for girls blue pen for boys lol I was a dork I wish I kept that book cuz it be interesting to see if any the favorite were still there but im sure it was torn so badly from used a lot.

[@Bunzy_KF]

I like your video, you did a good job on the names. My daughter's name is Neema and you didn't pronunciate it right. The right way to say it is 'Neh-eh-mah'. Other than that you did a good job, i like the name Neema because it also means Grace of God.

[@TulipByAnyName]

beautiful name and meaning

[@ashinabinet5496]

Hi. There is a boo called The World of Baby Names that lists the pronunciation of all baby names, even the easy ones.

[@bunnylady97]

I love African names!! I liked: Adia, Aluna, Aziza, Kamaria, Morowa, Tahirah, and Zakiya. I don't like a lot a African boy names but I did like Akins, Bomani, and Kontar!

[@Imesnaturals]

woow this's so beautiful what you are doing, for the first time in history! Omg I can't believe it. thank you so much for this information. GOD will bless you abundantly.

[@zoiahargrove9500]

can you find more african names with meaning??? please

[@TulipByAnyName]

+Zoia Hargrove I'll try to do another video on African names in the future :)

[@323boobie]

thanks for the comment, any Two syllable african names that will go with Lovell Ruffin that you love?

[@TulipByAnyName]

+Lovell Ruffin Thanks, I don't know many but this list may help you - www.behindthename.com/names/usage/african

[@ashie48]

Adia is cool! I went to school with a kid named Jabari, back then I never actually thought about it as an africa name lol

[@trinigrl92]

So my name is Gyasi (different spelling) and I am a female. The pronunciation is like JAW-SEE with emphasis on the first syllable. I've come across only one other female who shares this name, mostly it is used as male name, but it works as unisex! Hope this helps.

[@TulipByAnyName]

Gyasi Gomez Great name, thank you so much for sharing! I definitely sounds like it could work well female or male! Thanks again :)

[@sevenadventuregirls4574]

I have some African best friends their names are Amech Apio Manuella Ajok Akona And Martha Martha is a African name too

[@euridececachimbombo5516]

SevenAdventureGirls Martha and Manuela are not African names, Martha is a name with origin in the bible but both Martha and Manuela are actually names originated around Spain,Portugal and Italy.

[@323boobie]

just curious what name goes great for a boy with the last name Ruffin, I'm having a difficult time choosing?

[@TulipByAnyName]

Lovell Ruffin I think a lot of names would work! I'd avoid 2 syllable names that begin with a R or names that are similar in sound like Griffin. A few ideas off the top of my head.. Oliver, Elijah, Barrett, Maxwell, Dashiell..

[@cbbattlestar]

I have a friend named Hepi, and sometimes he is and sometimes his not, other friend of mine are Deliwe, Keketso, Sekopa, Tuli, Vusi, Zaphnie, Mzu and Tshidi. not sure if the names have any special meanings but the are African

[@TulipByAnyName]

love these names, thanks for sharing!

Maybe you might like some: www.behindthename.com/names/usage/chewa I especially love Thokkozani with the nickname Thokko :) And I met a woman who called her daughter "Ezmikee" (Ez - meek or Ezmeeke) with the nickname "Ez". I don't know if she heard that somewhere or made it up, but I looove it so much.!!!

Why didn't your friend from Nigeria do the video why white woman feel compelled to do it African name video you can did European name video

[@TulipByAnyName]

I wasn't aware that people could only speak of names from their heritage. In that case though, you have wrongly assumed that I am a white woman of purely European heritage. The name community here embraces and shares names from a wide variety of cultures. That was my intent in filming this video.
