Nhamo- female African name, Mozambique area. Name of the main character in the book A Girl Named Disaster, by Nancy Farmer. According to the book (fiction), Nhamo means disaster. Can anyone verify that?

Arsinoe is Greek (Cleopatra's family was Greek in fact). I've found that it means "woman with uplifted mind"...
