ArchivesRe: The meaning/origin of my name
in reply to a message by Chatavia
What exactly do you mean when you say you "were named for" your father? Was his name Chatavia? Or did he have some other name that your parents modified to create a feminine form of?
-avia has been a very popular suffix for the creation of new names in the African-American community, especially in the Southeastern USA.
And do you pronounce the initial "Ch" in your name as in Charles or as in Charlotte?
