Description:The African-American story is one of strength, survival, brilliance, and beauty. From the painful chapters of slavery and struggle to the bright pages of culture, music, activism, and joy, Black families in America have always used naming as a form of expression and resistance. During times when so much was taken away, including native languages and names, Black communities created their ways of naming that carried pride, faith, and meaning. Many names were inspired by African roots, the Bible, Muslim names, French and Arabic sounds, and even the desire to make something completely new and powerful. The names became a form of poetry, music, and magic. In this book, you will find names from a wide range of sources. Some names have African origins, such as Yoruba, Swahili, or Akan. Others are inspired by African-American traditions of creativity, like names formed from blending family names or adding special suffixes like “-isha,” “-quan,” or “-ari.” You will also see names rooted in faith, such as Christian and Islamic names, and those drawn from nature, virtue, or music. We have included names that are historical, modern, poetic, and bold. Every name in this book includes a meaning, origin, and pronunciation guide where needed.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
