This is why you har dly see an A fr ican man bear ing a Wester n name as his last name. Names ar e of huge significance in the continent and that is why some cultur es go as far as having naming cer emonies wher e
families officially name their childr en in the pr esence of other people. A fr icans attach lots of impor tance to their cultur e and r oots or wher e they came fr om. People fr om the A fr ican continent hold on fast to their cultur e and tr adition. The impor tance of cultur e and tr adition while choosing a last name in A fr ica, cannot be over emphasized. Cultur al
and r eligious diver sity ar e conspicuous elements of the A fr ican continent. This is seen in a wide r ange of languages of differ ent ethnic gr oups.
