Anthroponymy

By Jonas Mutia

Thus, we must strongly emphasise that only the father was authorised to give his offspring a name according to the circumstances of their birth. If this happy event occurred while the father had just eaten his bed by the Root, this prerogative fell to the members of his family and never to the widow, let alone her family. Our main goal in gathering these hundred names and finding their meaning is so that all Nyanga children, here and elsewhere, can feel pride in their Nyanga heritage, rather than fearing that their names, such as Tympan, Mielleux or Baccalaureate, will remain obscure and unknown to them.
