ArchivesInfo 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. (-:
