RE: SteemAlive Presents: "What is in a name" Its all about your name and its meaning (60 Steem Prize)

in SteemAlive4 years ago

My name is Nubia Nahbila.
Nubia means The rejected stone has become the chief corner stone.
This name was given because of the way my grand father was treated in his family. (Segregated) . It was like a blessing to my grand father tha he'd had a son. And the son will give him a better home.

Nahbila means. Mother has returned.
This name was given to me in remembrance of my great grand mother. My father said the night I was to be born he slept and had a dream that his grand mother (my great grand mother) came to him. He was confused so he asked her why she went and stayed long. She replied that she's back and she's come to stay.

My username is @craxywriter. I chose this name because if befits my status on my other social media handles. I am indeed a craxywriter.

Three babies.. I would name them.
Kongnikob which means Godslove
Changti(the girl) which means Happy
Ngehti which means Praises. I intend not giving my children an English name. 😁😁
The coolest name I have seen on the platform is @focusnow. Each time I read it.. it gives me some encouragement. And it serves as a "disciplinary " to me. Hahaha.

Thank you @craxywriter for participating in this contest.Your name had an age long meaning.Most native names are given basically as a result of events that played out in the past.
I am glad you will give your children native names.Native names should not die in our time.

So a short word like Nubia could mean;

The rejected stone has become the chief corner stone.

I actually thought that the circumstances regarding your birth was that you were rejected just as the name implies 😂😂😂

I guess I was wrong and you're indeed a reincarnation of maybe the 1960s or something.
