Did you live in Malawai?
This is great information. One of the reasons I come here is my original love of languages / etymology. Seeing how words travel from language to language always fascinated me. It's fun to see how names are treated in Malawi.
Poor Emeless. Does it really mean aimless or is that more of a pronunciation guide? Or if it does mean aimless then perhaps it's part of the "give the child a name that will cause the evil spirits to pass over it" theory.
Goodlucky and Loveness are fabulous. And that's funny about Doroth and Naom. My neurotransmitters are sparking up a storm. Thanks!
