This is a directory of names used in families, communities, languages and cultures of Africa. To add a name, click Submit a Jina button. Add the jina, describe it (what does it mean, is it for boys, girls or both; which languages, cultures of countries is it found). Do not add names in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic or any other non-African language. There is an option to add an audio pronunciation, please email asw@africasocialwork.net with short audio pronouncing the name 1-5 times or use the email to ask for our WhatsApp number to send the audio.
Naming and renaming people is an important process of decolonising, and this names project will contribute to that process. We thank you in advance for adding jina or more. All names are subject to approval before they appear of the website.
