Jabulani Means Rejoice is a dictionary comprised of hundreds of
African names in local South African languages, meticulously
assembled and expounded upon for the curious reader. Names are
listed in alphabetical order with gender indications, as well as
information regarding their ethnographic origins and meanings. Yet,
Jabulani Means Rejoice is so much more than simply a list of names
and their meanings. The author skilfully interweaves cultural
context and history, including issues surrounding naming rituals,
domestic disputes and the curse of the evil eye. The book starts
with an essay on naming practices. As a reference work, Jabulani
Means Rejoice stands as an invaluable contribution to the growing
interest in African cultural history. With its names ranging from
the traditional to the unconventional, it will appeal to linguists,
family historians and anyone with an interest in names. Useful for
parents-to-be; those who are interested in language and culture in
South Africa. The book makes a great gift and is a must for all
school, public and university libraries. Tourists will also
treasure this book.
Few things are more exciting - or complex - than choosing a child's
name. The stakes are incredibly high; this beautiful little boy,
who has no say in the matter, must live with your decision for the

whether or not the name you have chosen will truly "fit" him. This
book presents more than 3,000 names in a logical manner, to help

meaning) in practical groupings, to show you various alternatives
that might work for your family. Chapters include: The Most Popular
