Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This volume looks at the in-depth meaning of indigenous as well as adopted African names. African personal names have multitudinous functions such as the association of one's occupation, habits and personality. Many African names emanate from one's ancestry through clan, ethnic/tribal or religious affiliation. Since most of these names emanate from the 'Bantuphone' region of the east, central and southern Africa, it is not uncommon for many of these names to have a similar meaning albeit different pronuciation.
