Articles of category "African name meaning"

The name African American, Caucasian, Asian, Spanish, or Indian parents give their child is important. Often we run across someone with a name so bizarre or unusual that we snicker to ourselves, grateful to not be in his or her shoes. A name is our identification to the world and is the first thing that people make an assumption about. A name, a rose - well, you get the picture.

Life is indeed strange especially when you refer to it in terms of holding on to one's roots. An African American name holds on tightly to this statement. That is because names African are becoming increasingly popular for African-Americans. Maybe it is due to the obvious fact that they want to stay with their African roots. After all they are Africans living in the United States.
