The origin of my first name
I am bi-racial, that is my mother was Mexican, ( Shirley Gomez),
my father was Irish and Navahoe indian. Johnson was the name of
my step-grandfather. He was my grandmothers' second husband, but
he was not my biological grandfather...
I was born and raised in Phoenix Arizona, by my grandparents.
There was a taboo concerning my mother because, she married my
father. I was told that she was forced to move back to Mexico when
I was a baby.
I was also told that she named me Chavela...
My question is what does Chavela mean?
Can you help me?
