Re: PLEASE HELP!!!....
Hey, ChemeKa... it isn't that people are ignoring your request, it is that they don't have an answer for you. If you have any more information, such as one of your parents was basing your name on words from a language other than English, someone might be able to help you out a little more.However, I am guessing that your parents, as many African-American parents do, wanted you to have an unusual and memorable name and went to the effort of creating one especially for you. While this means that there is no set 'historical' or etymologic meaning attached to your name, it doesn't mean that you can't attach a personal meaning based on your life experiences.

Thank you for the insight. I have recently found out that my uncle actually named my cousins and I. Their names are Verneaka and Kaneaka, and from what I understand he just made them up. Thank you though.
