is it African to attach deeper meanings to names, especially native names or is it a universal human phenomenon? I see in African names a chain of history reaching into long annals & meaning that is beyond words. But how about the new trend based on imitation; where names are given seemingly superficially, mimicking foreign styles of naming?
So, Is it just African to attach meanings to names, or is it universal?
