Reply to: full name (all parts) needed for project by Lucille Shambria Buford
Lucille is a familar or diminutive form of Lucy ...meaning light, or bringer of light ...originally from Latin

Shambria looks like a newly created African-American name, likely with pieces of Arabic, possibly an African language such as Swahili and/or Hebrew ...there is an Arabic word, Shama, that means 'lamp' or 'mark' and Simba in Swahili means 'lion' ...but often these names are created for the sound versus the meaning ...

Buford is an English surname that means "ford (river-crossing) by the castle"
