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
Possibly means "he who inspires awe" in Amharic..
You should look up the proper pronunciation :)
The important thing is how you feel about them and what you think.
Good luckDo you think these names are appropriate for both family and baby?
Very nice names :)Do you think these names are appropriate for both family and baby?
I like them...good luck hun!
African names:
Boys...
Ajani meaning He Who Wins the Struggle
Adjo meaning righteous - my fave
Davu meaning the beginning
Barack meaning blessed first black President
Ilo meaning bright sunshine
Girls
Femi meaning love me
Fola meaning honor/honour
Abeni meaning girl prayed for
Ayanna meaning beautiful flower - my fave
Jendayi meaning thankful
I would advise to just choose a name that you love and not worry about the circumstances saying that their are many great African names. I love the boy name not so much the girls sorry.
Hope this helps!
i like both of the names!!! good luck!!!
Sure why not.
they have good meanings.
Yes, I think those work.

It means "arduous meatloaf"Baby name meanings?
Name: Aden
Gender: Boy
Origin: Gaelic
Meaning: Little fire
Origin: English
Form of: Aidan
thats the closest I have
It's Gaelic/Irish and means "little fire" - but in my world it means "overused."
I'm pretty sure it means, "Firey". Also, it's Irish.
My brother who is 6 years old is named Aiden.
It's irish and means little fire or firey spirit.
Aaden doesn't have a meaning -- would you really say this ODD-en, given the double A beginning? ;) -- but I realize some (Jon %26amp; Kate + 8 fans, perhaps? LOL) have used it as a random misspelling of Aidan, the proper Anglicization of Celtic Aodhan/Aedan.
Properly-spelled, Aidan -- or older forms Aodhan and Aedan -- quite literally translate to "little fire" (from the "fire" root plus diminutive -an -- NOT -en -- suffix), and can carry the implied meaning "born of fire." It's also the name of a saint. ;)
You can find more info on the very-accurate sites below. It's not linking them for some reason, however, so I've put simply the main page and you can search for Aidan, Aodhan or simply Aodh on the first, and just go to boy names A-C (it's the first entry) for the second.
Hope that helps!
You can also spell it as Aidan Which i think is a better way of spelling it.
It Means ..
The meaning of the name Aidan is Little Fire
The origin of the name Aidan is Irish
