Book Synopsis Names from Africa by : Ogonna Chuks-orji
Download or read book Names from Africa written by Ogonna Chuks-orji and published by Johnson Publishing Company (IL). This book was released on 1972 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The giving of names is of great importance in Africa. People are named after events, happenings, great things, the days of the week, or the order in which they were born. For example, if a couple had long wanted a son, in Nigeria they may call him "Ayinde" (Yoruba), meaning the one we prayed for. In Ghana, if a boy is born on Saturday he is called "Kwame" (Akan). In Tanzania, the second born of twins will be called "Doto" (Zaramo). People have asked me whether names like James, Gary, or Francis could be translated into African form. There is no direct translation from English names to African, but if we go back to the original meaning of an English name, we can often find an African equivalent. For example, the English Theodore and the Ibo "Okechuku" both mean "God's gift."--From preface.

Book excerpt: "Antwaneisha," "Brionshay" and "Tayvion"--for some, pronouncing these names are a daunting task, and for others, it's a symbol of cultural identity. Black Names Matter: The Black Names Book defines names commonly referred to as "Ghetto," "Ratchet" and "Hood," in American society by dissecting them. The lesson that the book teaches is that the majority of "Black Names" aren't African, but are unique names that come from combinations of two or more names, names constructed with common prefixes and suffixes, and much more. In many cases, names are "conjugated" with a formula that can be applied to names such as "DaNiqua," "LaNisha," and "Tayshaun." The book also contains research on the impact Black names can have on getting a job interview. In addition, the book has a glossary of "common" American names from which Black names are derived. Black Names Matter: The Black Names Book is the first installment in what may be an ongoing investigation into unique naming conventions used by different ethnic groups in America. As well as a second edition to this book from the suggestions received by readers to our author. Reader suggestions for names can be emailed to: [email protected].
