What's in a Name?
Discovering the Roots of Our Names: A Journey of Reflection and Preservation
Have you ever wondered about the origin of your name and the story behind it? As a soon-to-be parent, I found myself pondering this question and realized I knew little about the rich history of Rwandan names. And so, the “What’s in a Name” project was born.
With the goal of creating a shared database of Rwandan names and their meanings, I set out on a mission to preserve a piece of our oral history. By bringing together Rwandans and friends of Rwanda, I hope to create a resource that will allow us to deepen our understanding and appreciation of our unique cultural heritage. Join me on this journey of discovery and reflection.
