I can't find my name anywhere, but alot of people have it!!!
Okay, so I am not deeply confused, but lately have been wondering. My name is not one of those names mothers give there children because they want them to be unique. My mother never told me the meaning because she passed away. My name is Taneka. I have no idea what the heck it means. I am a biracial girl with strange first name, and an even stranger last name. However, I will save that for another story... If you could help me learn the root of my name I would be very much obliged! Thank you very much.With much hope,
Taneka

"Taneka" is the name of a tribe in the western African country of Benin. "Taneka" is also a word in one of the many Bantu languages of southern African, meaning "increase".-- Nanaea
