Is an ever evolving community driven archiving project to protect, remember and record African and indigenous names, reclaim them, their history and importance to identity. Names and naming traditions are ubiquitous cultural practices that herald the beginning of bearers as social beings. Naming is one of the important symbolic resources in which an African indigenous society can express its culture, and it is through name bestowal that history can begin to gather around the name-bearer (Bodenhorn and vom Bruck, 2006)
