Tariro

Shona word also given as a name usually to girls - it means "that which is intended for and therefore wished and hoped for." It is more than hope. It has a pointedly active dynamic of making the intended a positive outcome and therefore an expectation. English equivalent would be Hope.

This name is called "Themba" in IsiNdebele, which is a language found in South Africa and in Zimbabwe. It can also be used in place or in describing expectation.
