Info on a name, please???
I'd like to know the meaning of my boyfriend's last name, Kirunda. He is Ugandan born and part of the Basoro people. That's all I know about him other than he speaks Swahili. Any and all info is appreciated.Also, can anyone tell me what Costello means...as in the last name of Elvis Costello? Thank you. (-:
