Re: Shandurai and other African female names
in reply to a message by Bear
Shandurai is so, so pretty. I'm intrigued to know what it could mean. Google doesn't chuck up anything, and my attempts at trying an online Amharic dictionary suggest that it's not -directly- linked to its meaning and has evolved, or isn't derived from an Amharic word, or I'm trying to transliterate it wrongly... or any of the above. I don't know anything about African names or Amharic either way, so it was always a bit of a fool's errand.

So glad you liked Shandurai. If it weren't used in the movie I wouldn't credit it so much. It is really frustrating not to be able to find it in a google search.
Subira is intriguing. It's going on my long list this minute. Thanks!
