Traditional/ Native Hausa And Fulani Names? by Nobody: 6:56am On Dec 05, 2011 |
I'm not talking about aisha and mohammed or almuhamed. . . and all those Muslim names. Yorubas have names like Toyin, Tola, Lola, Lara etc. I'm sure that I'm not the only one interested. I've always wondered. . . . 1 Like |

odumchi: First because the hausa, fulani, kanuri, berom and other northern Nigerian ethnic groups have lived together for so long and hausa is now common language for the northern Nigeria, it is common for both to use each Hausa names. However, the common denominator of all their names are the Arabic names. Shehu - is a fulani name, and the equivalent of being called Sheikh in Arabic (a very learned Islamic scholar). Because of Usman dan Fodiyo, in northern Nigeria, most people with the name Usman, are sometimes called shehu. Aliko - is a corruption of Ali (arabic name), typically used by the Hausa Dangote - is a hausa name, which to be honest, I have no idea what is the genesis. However, Dan- in the name can mean "son of", or "follower of", "a person that like", "a person with a profession". And this is the same as: Danladi - name given to a man born on sunday Danlami- name given to a man born on Thursday Danliti- name given to a man born on Monday Dan asabe - name given to a man born on Saturday Shagari - is the name of a town in Sokoto states. Because of Shehu Usman Shagari, the Nigerian president in 1979 - 83, it is common in Hausa/fulani communities to find those born between 79 - 83 with the names Usman to be called Shagari Sanusi - is an arabic name, after al-sanousi, a Libyan Islamic scholar, who started the sanusiyya Islamic movement Typical Hausa names PAGAN 9JA: Gambo, Babangida, Kubura? - This is an arabic name Garba - This is typically given to those with name Abubakar Gombi is a name of a town in Adamawa Alheri Kukah 2 Likes |

Are the names unisex in nature? For example, many Yoruba names are used for both male and female. Eg: Biodun, Sola. |

Tsiya: i dont think this arabic. i think you are talking about[b] Kabiru[/b]. other Hausa names are Asibi, Dogonayaro, Bako, Maikudii, Bamaiyi, Gabluu, Inuuwa, Lami, Maiiro, Annakya, Hasana, Karbagiri, Soyakyi, Atuma, Kutumbi, Bawa, etc. Also many Hausa last names are originals. Fuulbe have completely different names and are not to be confused with. |
Re: Traditional/ Native Hausa And Fulani Names? by Tsiya(m): 6:48pm On Dec 11, 2011 |
PAGAN 9JA: Kubura, Maira (a distortion of Maryam), Hasana are arabic names. Gabluu, Annakya, Soyakyi, Atuma, Kutumbi - I don't think these are actually hausa names. The might be names from northern Nigeria, but certainly not Hausa origin |

kubura is probably an arabic name since the yoruba form is kuburatu. kutumbi sounds central african or plateau. |
