Summary
GENEALOGY, HERALDRY, NAMES & HONOURS. From a well-known expert who presides over African-American naming ceremonies comes the most comprehensive book of African names, over 4,000, both classic and contemporary. Obama, Iman, Kanye, Laila-authentic African names are appearing more often in nurseries, classrooms, and boardrooms. The names are not just appropriate for babies, but for adults, businesses, and even pets. The names are organized by meaning rather than alphabetically, and readers will discover themes common to African naming, including, but not limited to: time of birth, location of birth, physical characteristics, desired characteristics, and religious or spiritual names
