how were slaves named


paper shows that owners were not always the name-givers of slaves and that, although. African names are rare in historical records, modern naming practices 
  • How are slaves named?

    In Rome, slaves were given a single name by their owner. A slave who was freed might keep his or her slave name and adopt the former owner's name as a praenomen and nomen. As an example, one historian says that "a man named Publius Larcius freed a male slave named Nicia, who was then called Publius Larcius Nicia."
  • How did African slaves get their names?

    If their parents were married, they would take their father's surname. When enslaved folks were sold or bequeathed through the enslaver's family, they would, in most cases, only know their mother's last name. But some would choose a new surname entirely.
  • African cultural practices are steeped in spiritualism, where names are sacred to the people, and their very being. Indeed, names and naming among African peoples on the continent bore spiritual, psychological, and physical significance.
