Gender: Feminine & Masculine
Usages: Afro-American (Slavery-era)
This was used as an African American name during the slave period, as were all the other weekdays; naming children after the weekday on which they were born is common in some African cultures, notably Akan, and early slaves in America continued this practice with the English translations.
