Local history and folklore often inform the naming of people and
places. Does eThekwini mean "place of the lagoon" or "place of the
single testicle"? How are the names of dogs used to accuse a
neighbor of witchcraft? What is the origin of Jamludi? Is the Zulu
isibongo the same as a surname? Zulu Names explores the meanings of
and metaphors behind more than a thousand Zulu names grouped into
different categories: from personal names and nicknames to clan
names and praises; from place, homestead and regimental names to
school and shop names; and from domestic animal and bird names to
the names of the Zulu lunar months. For the more serious scholar,
Zulu Names also contains ground-breaking research and onomastic
material. This is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in
Zulu language or culture, or in naming practices generally.
