Thanks for all the kind words guys and love that this excited people to share the meaning of their names. Btw kids in the 80s were rough😋
Siaka Massaquoi So... how'd your date with that lady go? 😀
DUDE you gotta tell us how the date went, I just got done watching that video
your name is too tribal and traditional for the 21st century
well he wasn't born in the 21st century hun, and it is not a fact, it's only your opinion
I wanted to know how the relationship with your dad and your dad's family is now!! and why the 10 years gap and no contact at all? your name is beautiful too
I hope he passes his name on if he chooses to have children to continue the legacy. What a beautiful story.
What a voice ❤

My name is Rayan. Pronounced Ray - An. People always call me Ryan but I'm a girl. It means a door to paradise.
Queen Rayani you have the same name as my sister. She has the same struggle as you.
Queen Rayani I have the same name as you!! But it's spelt Riyan. I've never met someone called Riyan/Rayan before :)

Isn't it so true that once you understand the meaning of your name then you appreciate it more. I'm Ugandan and in my family (four kids) the only people with English names are my parents. We used to get made fun of at school then come home and complain that nobody could pronounce our names properly. I also hated the fact that when we went on holiday we were the kids who just knew there were no mugs or keyrings or magnets with our names on. Then one day my Dad sat me down and explained the meaning of my name "Kainembabazi" which means "she has the Grace". At one point during my birth the doctors asked my Dad who should be saved, the mother or the baby because they didn't think we'd both make it, but by the grace of God, we both did.
Ur Ugandan so im assuming that u know da wae
That was lovely
Kainembabazi Sabiti Wow, that is AMAZING!
Kris V choke
Awesome story. My name is Saqlain which means the two worlds, the worldly life and the life hereafter.
Saqlain Siddiqui

It was great to hear about Siaka's name in tell my story, and now this special video. Thanks SoulPancake!
Glad you enjoyed seeing more of Siaka! Thanks for watching Umang :)
Sorry for giggling at your name but it means crab in our dialect 😂
My name is pretty unique. Its derived from a verb. It means when an animal like a horse or deer rolls on or takes a dust bath on white sand.
Afra Saeed I have always liked your name tbh

Siaka you came to my school today, and you were very moving to me it would be awesome to meet up again
I honestly love his name and he is very handsome but I guess when your younger a lot of different things tend to become odd for you but as you get older you tend to grow and realize different is amazing
I find it annoying that my parents gave my brother a name meaning warrior (Martin) and mine just means sheep😂😭
Rachel Hill
Lel
Rachel Hill
And mine means nothing.
God sheep.God protects his sheeps
It’s a bout perspective, sheeps are kind lovely they have great qualities. They’re are silent warrior
What a beautiful man inside and and out heart bleeds hearing his story. Men need to love their children more
Wait.. wasn't he in tell my story blind date?
Mimmi Ya. He is. 😆😂

Yep and I was about to quote the same. I did not recognise him until he said they name their one kid in each generation siaka.
One of the best to date. Well done Soul Pancake.
Thanks so much Stephanie :)

Jay Star
Yee

Apparently my name means protector of mankind? Lol imma fight off the zombies with my bad eye sight and noodle arms.

What a beautiful legacy. My name simply means "Jehovah is God".
Truly a beautiful and profound story. I love your name.
He's sooo pure and nice
My name means "god's honour" which is pretty ironic cause I'm an atheist
Ragnheiður Torkilsdóttir Tyril giggles hehehehe!!! 💆🏻
My complete name means "The new home of the instrument of the King of Light" or "God" and i'm an atheist too xD
Ragnheiður Torkilsdóttir Tyril pfft me too, my name is a book in the bible, not a common one too. Christians think it's beautiful, others think it's weird. It means a hymn to praise God, which I don't do, nor do I sing 😂
Ragnheiður Torkilsdóttir Tyril nobody in the U.S could pronounce ur name
The vast majority of people from all over the world couldn't
thats cute. my name literally means light but okay
Actually Nourin You arab?
yeahh lol
Im Lebanese, you?
My surename ist Nouri haha

OMG meeting him today was so AMAZING he signed my arm and gave me a bunch of hugs... and I though we were gonna Skype with him and I was thinking *it would be amazing if he showed up* and he did... I was about to cry cause this video inspired me, he was so nice he was such an amazing person to meet and and I'm so happy my English teacher reached out to him or today wouldn't of happened and when I went to 4th hour I was missing him but at the same time I was thankful for him being there... Please pass this on to Siaka, he is such an inspiration 😢 Thank you Siaka Massaquoi
-Elizabeth M (You meet me on November 16th 2017)
*EDIT*
If he comments on this or sees this I would be SO happy 😗
Strange Liz I saw the vid
Siaka is such a beautiful name! Wow who would ever mske fun of that?? It sounds awesome😮😄😄😘
Fr
My name means unlucky and unfortunate--- I try to not let that influence me
Can'tpickausername your name's Desdemona (from "Othello")? I don't know why that popped into my head as soon as I read the description.
Can'tpickausername is your name Mallory?
💚😢🥰 this is severely beautiful!
This just reminded me how badly I want a follow up on Siaka and Angela.
From the title of this video I was immediately reminded of this guy when he came on tell my story and I'm actually surprised (not) that this video is actually about him!!!!
I'm not crying! you are...
What an absolutely beautiful story!
Well my name means 💫GOLD💫 never liked gold tbh....😅❤
lol ;)
Aurelija Pastare How do you pronounce your name? I'm curious because my mum's name is Aurelie which she's always said told me means gold or golden.
I think it's the root of the name "Aurum" which in latin means "Gold"
f
My name's Aurelie :D same meaning
Mines Is Protector Of Mankind , It Really Signifies Me When It Comes To All My Brothers ❤

Beautifully said, Siaka (sp?). Thanks goodness you answered your brother's call!
We actually needed a Siaka in our society
What a beautiful story, thank you forsharing
I totally understand what you went through. It took me a while to actually love many name and it's meaning. Great and inspirational video
My teacher sent me this video as a class assignment after I told them to refer to me as different...... love that for me
It's insane that so many kids and adults aren't taught to be culturally competent or to really just take in other's differences with respect, even if it's off-putting or strange. When I first heard his name, it amazed me and I was instantly in love with it. This story is a great one ^-^
What a beautiful story bro. Hope you read this: You are so loved!!!!
My name is Jwan and it means Beautiful in Kurdish language :)
lovely, raised goosebumps on skin .
God bless you Siaka.
I love all these people in the comments explaining their names, other people's cultures are so cool
I think his name is beautiful. It sounds strong!
The meaning of my name is consolation”, “that which brings happiness”, “something that makes you forget your sadness and worries”
My name means song of happiness but it should be bucket of sadness
My names mean happiness that never ends, God give me joy , my love and the head of the home 😊
What a pretty name with such beautiful meanings 😍
Spelling error in the title?
What an amazing story. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
You and your name are beautiful ♡♡ honestly. Blessings💚💙💜💛
That moment when you realise the title has wrong grammar
Edit: they fixed it now
xVenum 😂ikr
What is it supposed to be? "That Moment You Learned The Meaning of Your Name"? I'm not that good with grammar.
xVenum Where's the period at the end of your sentence?
Wait what's wrong with it?
"Your" is used correctly here....
So in my fam we've got
1)Life water-basically life giving water/the drop of water that lands on a plant as it blooms
2)Moon water- basically just water(life) on the moon
3)Sky water-kinda just rain. Also the name of a river in turkey
4)Rose water
Beautiful story, beautifully told.
I actually really like the name. I don’t see why people wouldn’t. It’s fun to say too.
Love this story, so beautiful! ❤️
My name, Shakwana, means "to be grateful" it's actually a word from a tribe in Tanzania. I'm Tanzanian by the way, born and raised. Many people also found it hard to pronounce and thought it was weird. And i also didn't like the fact that it kinda fell under the stereotypical african american names like shaniqua, shaqwanda etc. But i have learnt to love it and know the that it has a greater meaning that i live by everyday.
Siaka beautiful name, beautiful meaning.
What a beautiful story and voice
My name means born on Friday...I was born on a Monday 😂
Him: my name is ( sorry I don't know how to spell!!)
Me: that's a beautiful name!!

My name is Precious and it means something valuable

Siaka, I think your name is awesome. I love names with strong meaning. My name is Siobhan, an Irish/Gaelic name meaning "God is gracious" or "praise." Most people who are familiar with my name are surprised that I'm African-American, because the majority of Siobhans are white...and my last name is Irish too. 😂 I pronounce my name Sha-BON, but the common Irish pronunciation is Shi-VAWN. I answer to both, but I've been called everything from "See-OH-bon" to "Soybean"...don't ask, lol. Our names make us unique!
my name means “god’s gracious gift”💕💕
My name means the start of the spring
I love this
