Jamaican was a british colony, british/irish people were part of the Atlantic slave trade that brought slave to both the Caribbean and U.S. This shyt ain't complicated
but how come both AAs and West Indies came to use those names tho that is my question?
Wow, a truly thought-provoking post, friend. You've completed dismantled my point just by posting those 3 smilies. Pardon me while I go sulk in a corner
The la is LaMarcus is probably French in origin, I know a Nigerian girl named Lafontanne, because it translates to the fountain or something. -Shia, -sha, -qua all have roots in Arabic, and Shanaynay is a joke name from Martin.
@MAKAVELI25 @ScoopNScore y did u 1 star this thread
its an inoffensive question
or was it the lil shot at AAs
can u even answer my question
but the slaves from both colonies didnt interact like that, or did they? cuz its not like the slave masters gave them names, or did they?
a lot of the trini and jamaican nikkas i kno, if not most, got "black" names. trayvon, tyrell, donte, devonte and shytnikka, who asked you to quote me?
But your original claim is generalizing and unclear. Ok, I might know some Keishas and Darnells from the Carribean, but West Indian names come from all over, they have white American names, black names, European names, and others, and the black names are just a small percentage of names in the West Indies.
Also, are you just talking about one country or all in general?
The slavemasters did give them names, that was the norm.but the slaves from both colonies didnt interact like that, or did they? cuz its not like the slave masters gave them names, or did they?
