Book Synopsis Jamaican Place Names by : B. W. Higman
Download or read book Jamaican Place Names written by B. W. Higman and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jamaican place names range from the commonplace to the bizarre. Densely distributed across the map of the island, they not only intrigue the visitor and the resident but also provide clues to Jamaica's past landscapes and its social and economic history. Written from a historical and geographical perspective by two authors with an intimate knowledge of the island, this book presents an entirely new approach to the study of Jamaican place names. Maps and other sources dating from the earliest years of European contact to the twenty-first century are used to compile a database of over 20,000 names. Analysis provides clues to the culture and national origins of the dominant planter population who were the major name-givers but also includes many names with distinctive Jamaican "creole" meanings. Today, Kingston, May Pen, Rio Bueno, Me No Sen You No Come, George's Plain Mountain and Content, names derived from a variety of sources, are all equally Jamaican and equally fascinating. Jamaican Place Names is written for both the scholar and the general reader with an interest in the island's landscapes and history. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the quest for the perfect name is deeply personal, it is not without its challenges. We understand the weight of this decision and have crafted this book with a few guiding principles in mind. Firstly, we encourage you to embrace the significance of cultural and familial connections. Many names carry stories of ancestry, traditions, and legacies that can enrich your child's sense of identity. Secondly, consider the resonance of the name with your values and aspirations. A name can shape perceptions and influence the way your child perceives. Whether you aspire for a name that exudes strength, kindness, or creativity, let the essence of the name align with your hopes and dreams for your little one. Lastly, while trends come and go, the timeless nature of a name is an essential consideration. Striking a balance between uniqueness and enduring appeal ensures that your child's name stands the test of time, reflecting both contemporary sensibilities and the enduring beauty of tradition.

It contains information about the Caribbean and its dialects, and about Creole languages and general linguistic processes. Entries give the pronounciation, part-of-speach and usage of labels, spelling variants, etymologies and dated citations, as well as definitions.
