Is a son with an African father traditionally given an African name, regardless of Mother's heritage?

Answer 1

Africa has many different cultures and traditions. And I'm sure that if you look hard enough, then you can find the tradition that you are talking about.

But I doubt that each every African culture has this kind of tradition.

Answer 2

Africa is a HUGE continent with many, many different societies, tribes, cultures and religions, so it probably varies depending on the specific person's culture.

Answer 3

yeah suire
actually all african children's last names are their father's names or their father's father names
the mother family names have nothing to do with the children's names

Answer 4

not neccessarily.It depends on the parents choice
