Conforme a las tradiciones, la imposición de los nombres africanos, según su significado, condiciona la actuación de la persona ante la colectividad, en tal sentido, cada nombre está cargado de una implicación trascendental, siendo otorgado exclusivamente por los miembros mayores de la familia.
Para los africanos, también suponen un contacto directo con los antepasados y una resistencia contra los nombres puestos por la hegemonía colonizadora.
De acuerdo a ello, para su correcta colocación, se toma en cuenta la etnia de origen, las circunstancias del parto o el nacimiento y los rasgos de la personalidad.
Algunos nombres africanos y su significado.
Entre la extensa cantidad de nombres africanos, algunos de los más conocidos son los siguientes:

Adisa: oriundo de Nigeria, se refiere al hombre que habla claro pero suele entenderse como alguien que nos enseñará, a tal efecto, expresa su compresión hacia los demás, despertando simpatías y antipatías, igualmente, le gusta resolver los problemas ajenos y dar amistad.
Babatunde: nativo de la etnia yoruba de Nigeria y Benín, se manifiesta como el padre ha regresado, representando a la expresión por medio de la investigación y la comprensión del pensamiento y de la vida misma.
Finalmente, aunque la palabra África no es uno de los nombres africanos, sino que más bien, proviene del latín afer o afri, refiriéndose a un término usado por los romanos para calificar a los habitantes de la costa norte del continente, como tunecinos o argelinos, muchas mujeres lo llevan por nombre, calificándolas de soñadoras y con grandes virtudes como la amabilidad, la tolerancia o la capacidad de ayudar a otros.

It is not easy to talk about African names briefly. After all, Africa is a huge continent inhabited by various peoples. In our time, there are more than three thousand tribal and clan groups that have different traditions, religions, languages, customs, customs. And names. Therefore, we can only talk about a common history of the origin of African names .
African naming traditions.
African names can hardly be overestimated. At all times, the peoples of Africa gave them magical powers. According to them, what name will be given to a person depends on his future fate. For example, Tanzanians often name their children after the presidents, one of the most popular names now is the name of the former president of Tanzania, Nyerere. Probably, mothers and fathers of little Nyerere hope that the name will have a positive impact on the fate of their child.
But the majority of the people of Africa have a habit of changing their name several times during their lives. It is believed that until the age of majority or the rite of initiation, the child does not have a real name. Baby African names are more likely nicknames with playful meaning – Panya (mouse), Mapengo (gap), Kidagaa (fish). Moreover, girls and boys are called the same names. After seven or forty days, sometimes after a year, the child is given a new name. It can be the name of one of the parents or relatives. During the initiation ceremony, the teenager receives a permanent name. Interestingly, twins tend to be given special names. People firmly believe that the birth of identical children is not complete without the participation of supernatural forces. For example, among peoples who speak Swahili, twins are often called Kurva and Doto.
Names-“relatives” and names-“titles”.
In East Africa, there are traces of the custom of giving adult members of society two “secret” names, thanks to which kinship and social status were established.
One of these names a man received from his father and passed on to his son. The second – from the mother and did not pass on to anyone. Thus, the partial or complete coincidence of the “secret” names spoke of consanguinity.
Many names in Africa are not distinguished by gender. But there are tribes where there are male and female names. So, among the numerous Wolof people, boys are called Samba, Demba, Latir, Yoro, and girls – Ngone, Kumba, Tako, Yasin, Kodu. Sometimes the names of animals are added to the names to emphasize the distinguishing feature of a person – Njai-gende (Njai-lion), Sise-ngari (Sise-bull).
Muslim and Christian names in Africa.
At different times on the African continent spread the main world religions – Islam and Christianity. They brought their names to the peoples of Africa.
Muslim names are especially widespread in the countries of the North and East. Most of them have undergone some phonetic changes – Muhamadi (Muhammad), Abedi (Aybed), Alasan (Hasan), Seni (Hussein), Maram (Miriam).
To some African names, an abbreviated version of the name Muhammad “Ma” is added in order to give it an “Arabic sound” – Madior, Mademba, Makodu, Masamba.
Christian Africans have Christian names, and twin boys and girls are often called Adam and Howe (Eve).

When it comes to choosing an African name for your boy or girl, you can choose a name from any of the 54 countries on the continent. African names are incredibly diverse and contain a mixture of traditional, Muslim, Christian and Arabic names. Giving a child a name is a serious matter in many African countries, and elaborate naming ceremonies are usually held to give the child several meaningful names.
The birth of an African child is usually followed by a series of ceremonies and celebrations to bring a new child into the world. Many of the names given at these ceremonies point to the child’s place in the world. For example, in Ghana, a boy born on Friday is called Kofi. In the Igbo tribe of Nigeria and parts of West Africa, the first child is called Ada.
