Somali name disaster

[Cawiye Garaad]

It takes about 10 generations for the names to start being Somali in my linage

Then you're missed up. Be the chain break so give your first child Somali name in the future

 

[Cawiye Garaad]

Lol Somali names are almost extinct I could say all my abtiirsi and there is no single Somali name in it

That is sad atleast I am luckier than you

 

[Cawiye Garaad]

Some names can't be used in the west. For example the name Lul for females means dick in Dutch

I am glad my sister is not in Netherlands

I had to look this up
Is it pronounced the same way though?

 

[Prince Abubu]

ngl, we could do without the name ‘Cambero’..

But you wouldn't mind naming your daughter Amber, am I right?

 

[Prince Abubu]

Harari people even use Garad, it never came from Dhulos nor did ugaas. Actually Ugaas is Dir origin so people need to stop making shit up just because your clan uses it alot

Apparently, Buraanbur comes from buuqland as well. These people love claiming shit.

Garaad and Ugaas neither Dhulos, Harari or Dir, but both are just Somali words for Chieftain.

Us Geri folks have a Garaad as well. In fact our Garaad was mentioned by name in Futuh Al Habash. He was one of Ahmed Gurey's generals.

What was his name? I know one of the greatest generals of Adal Sultanate and the right hand parter of Ahmed Gurrey and he was the chieftain of Habar Magaadle forces called Ahmad Girri bin Husain. He was from my sub-clan Sa'ad Muuse/Habar Awal.

Garad Mattan was married to Ahmed Gurey's sister

It clearly says so in the book as well.

Because that snippet wasn't from Futuh al habasha, but from "The Ethiopian Borderlands: Essays in Regional history from ancient times to the end of the 18th century"

[Ahmed Alawi]
