Title: Is 'Nkosi' Exaucee's middle name?
Post by: Nkosi on August 10, 2020, 14:13
Why does Exaucee bear the NKOSI name? Is she preparing for our marriage or it is her middle name?

Nkosi in the Zulu Language in South Africa means "King" ... is there something I am missing here as well?

Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrikaaaa
Maluphakaniso Uphondo Lwayo
Yizwa imithandazo
Yethu
Nkosi sikelela
Thina
Lusapho lwayo

I love that hymne national of South Africa
Anyaay Nkosi in lingala mean Liom to not confuse with Nkoyi which means Leopard anyway It is surprising if Werra named her daughter Nkosi as a secomdo name Werra.is a Bayaka which are the BaKongos that for a reason (mainly.crimes like.homicide stealing or simply not wanting to follow the BaKongo rules in the antiquity) not follow the BaKongo rules

yes its her middle name,as funny as it seems very few of the old people of werra's family have same family name(and its the same in several tribes) so they pass  names of grandparents or ancestors as middle name and last name at times
for example the 4 guys of werra's mother are
-jonas mbese
-patrice ngoy musoko
-noel ngiama makanda
-guy nkoyi
somebody who is not used to it could think its different families

Ok that explains it. I always thought Frere Patrice and Werrason dont share the same father.
