Meaning

a Yao feminine name meaning grace or favour, expressing the theological idea that the child has been given to her parents through divine generosity rather than through any merit of their own; among the Yao and neighbouring Chewa-speaking peoples the birth of a child is understood within both Islamic and African traditional religious frameworks as an act of divine grace, and names that acknowledge this grace publicly serve as lifelong declarations of the family's spiritual orientation and gratitude toward God and the ancestral forces that protect family wellbeing
