[Facts] NAMES SPANNING OTHER TRIBES
Hello admin.I would like to bring to your attention one observation.Some names span more than one tribe and as such it is essential for the contributors to do a bit of research and where applicable indicate the tribes that are also attached to the very same name e.g.the given name: CHIMWEMWE is both from a chewa and tumbuka tribe.The only difference is how the name CHIMWEMWE is pronounced in Chichewa and Chitumbuka.The other name is KONDWANI.Either Tumbukas or chewas name their child this name; the only difference is how the name is pronounced. In other ways the names are either chewa or tumbuka.Here neither tribe copies from the other but all are originators.
