So much goes into deciding on a name for an African baby. African names have profound meanings and they have to work with the family and the circumstances around which the baby is born. So I'm young and not married to My baby's dad.
Uyanda-girl [oo-yan-da] means increasing the family.
Leano-boy [li-yan-oh]
Means legacyDo you think these names are appropriate for both family and baby?
Don't really like them but try these African names:
Girls:
ABENA f Western African
Means "born on Tuesday" in Akan.
ABENI f Yoruba
Means "we asked for her, and behold, we got her" in Yoruba
AMARA f Igbo
means grace
EBELE f Igbo
Means "mercy, kindness" in Igbo.
FARAI m %26amp; f Southern African
Means "rejoice" in Shona.
KATO m Eastern African
Means "second of twins" in Luganda.
KAYIN m %26amp; f Yoruba
Means "celebrated child" in Yoruba
KWAME m Western African
Means "born on Saturday" in Akan. ( i know a guy with this name)
NIA (2) f Eastern African
Means "purpose" in Swahili.
SANAA f Eastern African
Means "art" in Swahili.
SAUDA f Eastern African
Means "dark complexion" in Swahili.
SUBIRA f Eastern African
Means "patience" in Swahili.
TAFARI m Eastern African

The important thing is how you feel about them and what you think.
