Meaning of African Names are really great names to consider if you want to consider some variety when selecting baby names...

At Top 100 Baby Names Search our philosophy is, "consider everything, and pick the best!" What is so great about names from Africa is that they are unique to the rest of the world, and there is so much to choose from.

When I was selecting names for my children I wanted to create a short list from names that I found intriguing in someway. Next, my husband and I went through every name on our short lists and rated them based our own personally selected criteria... Víola!... One or two special names rose to the top. Selecting our children's names was a total blast. I feel the key was having a long list of baby names to begin with.

So, here it is, a long list of Meaning of African Names for your consideration. Enjoy.
