[Surname] Re: surname Napangardi
in reply to a message by W
Australian Aboriginal, the name of a sub-section, or "skin group" of the Warlpiri tribe, so I imagine it will be limited in number and distribution. Napangardi is the female form, for a man it's Japangardi.
A skin group is an exogamous group, i.e. members cannot marry within their own group. They are also restricted as to which other groups of the tribe they can form marriage alliances with.
