“Don’t Let The Spelling Fool You” — 12 Trinidad Surnames That Are African Names In English Clothing

✍️ IS YOUR TRINIDAD SURNAME SECRETLY AFRICAN? FIND OUT WITH THE SURNAME PAPERS 👉 https://theafricangenome.com 👈 Thousands of people in eastern Trinidad drive down one road every week, and almost all of them read its name wrong. It isn't Irish. It isn't English. It's a Yoruba birth, written on a road sign. Many African names never disappeared in Trinidad. They just put on English clothing, and a clerk with a pen did the rest. One of these twelve belonged to the first African who owned land in Belmont. One could be a nickname, a nation or a birthday, and only one test tells you which. And one is so English that nobody in your family would ever suspect it. Comments: your surname, and the day of the week your oldest relative was born. Two of the African days are still missing from this list.
