In the plans to expand the section of male African names, we plan to add African surnames, which are also based on different naming systems, and just as interesting in their meaning - so bookmark our site and visit again - we have all presented for free online.

Africa is an amazing continent, the culture of which differs from the usual European and American ones. Striking trees grow here, rare and unique representatives of the fauna live, and also live mysterious people. Civilization reached this first stronghold of mankind, surprisingly intertwined with the local culture. African names are especially interesting, often beautiful, sometimes strange, incomprehensible. modern man. We invite you to familiarize yourself with them.

Africa is a rather large continent, on the territory of which a huge number of tribes and peoples live. There are many countries here that are not similar to each other, so there are plenty of name options. The history of the continent is amazing, it was here that life was born and the first great civilization appeared. That is why it is not possible to fully tell about how African names originated, what sources were used by the peoples, why this or that option appeared.

However, let's get acquainted with the main ways of the emergence of anthroponyms:

  • Initially, the child was given a playful name, for example Kidagaa - "fish", Panya - "mouse". At the same time, the gender of the child did not matter, often boys and girls had identical nicknames.
  • Then the baby was named differently (in a week, 40 days or a year, depending on the traditions of a particular area), giving him the nickname of one of the parents or relatives. Finally, at the time of initiation, the child, having become a teenager, already received his true name.
  • In addition, the kids also had secret names that could not be told to anyone, they received one of them from their father, the second from their mother. The name received from the father was then passed on to the son, received from the mother was not transmitted.
  • Finally, the traditions of Christianity and Islam became another source of African names. When these world religions came to the black continent, they made their impact, many residents began to name their children after the prophet Muhammad or Orthodox and Catholic saints.

Note that there was a special tradition of chastising the twins. So, people believed that a woman gave birth to two babies for a reason, that there was some higher meaning in this, which is why such children were called in some unusual way, for example, Doto and Curva in Swahili.

Nature

Many female African names have their source in various natural phenomena, the names of plants, animals:

  • Abangu - "who came from the thicket";
  • Agak - "hawk";
  • Agwang - "she-wolf";
  • Aded, Grandfather - "green grasshopper";
  • Anyang - "crocodile";
  • Apanda - "donkey";
  • Kamaria - "resembling the moon";
  • Marjani - "coral";
  • Ntanda - "asterisk".

Such options are very poetic, but in modern world almost never occur, giving way to Muslim and Christian borrowings. So, in African countries there are many Johns, Jacks, Roberts, Adams, Charles, as well as Sophie, Margaret, Elizabeth, Chloe, Alison. And traditional options are used only by residents of remote areas.

The realities of nature for boys

Among the male African names, there are many that also have various natural phenomena and animals as their source. Here they are:

  • Budd - "night";
  • Bovaddin - "large-sized dog";
  • Buru - "bull";
  • Ganju - "cat from the wild";
  • Gachi - "a small river";
  • Delmar - "endless sea";
  • Giconi - "bird";
  • Dub - "zebra";
  • Kobe, Fudu - "slow turtle";
  • Simba, To - "the king of animals, the lion";
  • Ffamb - "viverra".

Some names are the same for boys and girls, for example Grandfather - "green grasshopper", Ntanda - "star".

Order at birth

Speaking about African names and their meaning, it should be noted that a very large number of them are connected with the order in which the child was born. So, among women it can be noted:

  • Apayon, Apiio, Babiray - "the first of the twins";
  • Adongo, Nakato - "the second girl from the twins";
  • Kanto - "third baby";
  • Anan - "fourth";
  • Enu - "fifth";
  • Nsiya - "sixth";
  • Nsonoua - "seventh";
  • Oovti - "eighth";
  • Nkrumah - "ninth".

As you can see, African families were large, many children were born.

Men's options are also presented:

  • Baako, Chilongola - "first son";
  • Isingoma, Wasswa - "first twin";
  • Kato is the "second twin".

Options for the fourth, fifth and subsequent babies are the same as for women.

Birthday

Another source for beautiful African names is the day the baby was born. Let's look at some examples:

  • Adjoa, Aduora - "born on Monday";
  • Quadro, Kojo - "Born on Monday";
  • Abena - "was born on Tuesday";
  • Jumaan, Kwabena, Kobina - "a boy born on Tuesday";
  • Akua, Ekua (female); Kwaku, Kweku (male) - "on Wednesday";
  • Yaa (female), Hamizi, Yav (male) - “on Thursday”;
  • Afia, Afua, Mwanajuma, Efua (female); Kofi (male) - "on Friday";
  • Ama (female), Barasa, Kvam (male) - "on Saturday";
  • Akozua, Yezi (female); Bozed, Kwasi, Kwezi (male) - "on Sunday".

Characteristics

There are a lot of African names and those based on certain human qualities or occupations. Consider examples of options for girls:

  • Abuto - "secret", "mysterious";
  • Advar - "huntress";
  • Akoko - "noisy";
  • Amaka, Zeri - "beauty";

  • They are "born in a sacred place";
  • Ramla - "sorceress";
  • Soda - "dark-faced";
  • Tsholofelo - corresponds to the Russian name Nadezhda;
  • Eyira - "chosen one".

There are many similar names for boys:

  • Abimbola - "born to live rich";
  • Adio - "pious";
  • Boipelo - "proud";
  • Bomani - "fighter";
  • Bohleil - "wise";
  • Gwala - "cowardly";

  • Kamo - "humble warrior";
  • Kernils - "playing the trumpet";
  • Nkozana - "prince";
  • Fangei - "thinking";
  • Khlenjiv - "saved."

These are the main names of African peoples. Of course, many of them have ceased to be actively used, giving way to European borrowings, but in remote corners of the continent, where the influence of civilization was not so strong, you can meet a girl or a young man named in best traditions of his people.

African names: male and female, beautiful and interesting on the site.

Our life consists of everyday little things that in one way or another affect our well-being, mood and productivity. I didn’t get enough sleep - my head hurts; drank coffee to improve the situation and cheer up - he became irritable. I really want to foresee everything, but it just doesn't work. Moreover, everyone around, as usual, gives advice: gluten in bread - do not come close, it will kill; a chocolate bar in your pocket is a direct path to tooth loss. We collect the most popular questions about health, nutrition, diseases and give answers to them, which will allow you to better understand what is good for health.

African names. African female names and their meaning

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 mailing lists, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they drag people into various magical forums and deceive (give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure out money for magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).

On our sites, we do not provide links to magical forums or sites of magical healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this.

Note! We are not engaged in healing and 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 writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books.

Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. In all our lives, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, 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 time has come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to engage in slandering 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, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deceit, slander, and fraud.

There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. The police and other regulatory agencies are not yet able to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheat for profit" insanity.

So please be careful!

African names. African male names and their meaning

Love spell and its consequences - www.privorotway.ru

Also our blogs:

Talking about African names briefly is not easy. After all, Africa is a huge continent inhabited various nations. In our time, there are more than three thousand tribal and clan groups that have different traditions, religions, languages, customs, customs. And names. Therefore, we can only talk about the general origin stories of african names.

African naming traditions.

Meaning of African names hard to overestimate. At all times, the peoples of Africa gave them magical power. According to them, what name will be given to a person depends on his future fate. For example, Tanzanians often name their children after the presidents, one of the most popular names now is the name of the former president of Tanzania, Nyerere. Probably, mothers and fathers of little Nyerere hope that the name will have a positive impact on the fate of their child.

But the majority of the African population has a habit of changing their name several times during their lives. It is believed that until the age of majority or the rite of initiation, the child does not have a real name. Baby African names more like nicknames with playful value- Panya (mouse), Mapengo (split), 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. It can be the name of one of the parents or relatives. During the initiation ceremony, the teenager receives a permanent name. Interestingly, twins tend to be given special names. People firmly believe that the birth of identical children is not complete without the participation of supernatural forces. For example, among peoples who speak Swahili, twins are often called Kurwa and Doto.

Names-"relatives" and names-"titles".

In East Africa, there are traces of the custom of giving adult members of society two "secret" names, thanks to which kinship and social status were established. One of these names a man received from his father and passed on to his son. The second - from the mother and did not pass on to anyone. Thus, the partial or complete coincidence of the "secret" names spoke of consanguinity.

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

Muslim and Christian names in Africa.

At different times, the main world religions - Islam and Christianity - spread on the African continent. They brought their names to the peoples of Africa.
