ArchivesRe: The African name Rokia
in reply to a message by Briallen
Thank you, I think the concert I saw was from Paris. Her father was a diplomat so they probably spoke French. But I don't think Rokia is a French name. And I don't know anything about Bambaran names.

I tried looking for a list of 'Bambaran' names but it just doesn't exist :
I think that unless somebody asked Rokia herself or somebody who is actually familiar with names from Mali... you won't have any luck.
Sorry!
