On a side note ... ive read up a bunch of places that ethiopians pass down there first name, to their child, so if your dad's name was "john smith", your name would be (smith _insert last name). Is this true?? . and is this why you were supposed to get the zion part as your last name?

just wondering ...


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Yeah, Ethiopian names tend to be pretty religious in nature. My dad's full name translates into English as "Son of Zion, born of the Light." But I only got the 'Light' part in my last name... that's what I get for being a heathen I guess. (Although I should have gotten the Son of Zion part instead, but that's a long story)
