Settler Names

Names from Swahili and Hausa, the languages of the settlers. They are the most common stock on the surface.

From Swahili: Alia, Amani, Amira, Asha, Bakari, Baraka, Daraja, Eshe, Faraji, Furaha, Hamisi, Imani, Jabari, Jafari, Jelani, Juma, Kesho, Kesi, Kibo, Kibwe, Kito, Kombo, Makame, Makena, Malaika, Mara, Mila, Mosi, Naima, Neema, Nia, Omari, Raia, Rashidi, Rehema, Riziki, Saida, Sanaa, Sefu, Shani, Siti, Subira, Taraji, Tarishi, Tausi, Tumaini, Zawadi, Zuberi, Zuri

From Hausa: Amina, Audu, Bala, Dabo, Dauda, Delu, Dogo, Gambo, Garba, Hadiza, Idi, Jummai, Kande, Ladi, Mairo, Sani, Shehu, Tahiru, Talatu, Tanimu, Tanko, Tijani, Tukur, Turaki, Yaro, Zainabu

Many of these were once names for the day of birth in the old count of days of Earth (Juma, Hamisi, Ladi, Talatu). Duskara has no such count. The names pass down as ancestor names, and few people know what they once meant.
