Basotho Name Quiz

Welcome to the basotho name quiz. The Basotho people have a unique system of naming their children. Usually a child is given a name by someone who is close to them. However, there are some exceptions to this. A person can receive a name that is out of the ordinary and unique. A girl can be given the name Mpho, which means gift. Other examples are Letsha, Mohavi, and Attie.

Your Basotho name will also tell others about you. Moramang was your paternal grandmother, which is why you'll hear her name everywhere. In some families, the father asks the mother who is the father, because otherwise the child is of their blood. Although it may seem a bit old-fashioned, it's important for you to know who is the father because a child who isn't related to their parents will not be treated well by the family.

If you're a boy, you can choose from these names for your child: Katleho (meaning "success") and Kutloisiso ("understanding"). But if you're a girl, you can choose a name that is less fussy and more fitting to the gender of your child. You could also go with the feminine name Tlhoko, which means "tail." It's a good choice for a boy, but it might be a bit heavy for a modern baby.
