these have become increasingly important in terms of a person's identity.
Unusual spellings are becoming totally acceptable in our society.
The emergence of the Internet and Mobile phones has lead to the creation and total acceptance of new
spellings which have given us a whole new modern
dictionary. Modern
Black baby names which originate in the US are the leaders in adopting such changes
in name's. |

Black
Genealogy
Ancestors who originated in Africa had no choice in their lives due to the
practice of buying and selling people into slavery.
Between the years 1650 and 1900 it is estimated that 28 million
Africans were forcibly moved from Africa to America as slaves. One of the
most famous books relating to the forced slavery of one of
these forced immigrants in America was ' Roots ' by Alex Haley. According to research
into genealogy compiled by Alex Haley his ancestor was a man
called Kunta Kinte who came from the Gambian town of
Jufferee. A vital element in the story of Kunta Kinte is that he
desperately wanted to keep his own name rather than take on the
adopted name of his owner. Name changes obviously make
investigations into family genealogy difficult but this is certainly not an impossible task.
Black
Baby Names - Origins
Like many of our immigrant ancestors,
surnames which originated in Africa were changed to Western ones. Those given were
often biblical ones (conversion to Christianity was of major
importance) or classical types such as Plato and Homer (these were given to illustrate classical knowledge). Research
indicates, however, that slave owners did not often give
slave children their first names so many which originated in
Africa were still
used.
