Beautiful Xitsonga Names for Baby Boys and Girls

In Tsonga, names have meanings. They have to mean something and it’s very rare to have a Xitsonga name that has no meaning.

Sometimes a baby is named after a grandmother / father or someone that was part of the ancestry of the child.  Sometimes they name children based on the circumstance, as some sort of message.

Having a child is one of life’s greatest blessings so of course the name you give them has to be well thought of.
