FAMILIY NAME : THE MALAGASY NAME, A PROPERTY, AN IDENTITY...

CHOICE OF THE CHILD'S NAME
The Malagasy young boy is circumcised as soon as he is sufficiently strong to support the operation. The circumcision can be done individually or by group of children; it is according to the families and the areas.
Circumcising a child is a way to introducing him into the adults social life, it is a way of allotting a NAME to him.
The Malagasy baby girl is not excised. That is valid for all the island.
Formerly, a Malagasy child received a NAME. Traditionally th… Continue

Madagascar/Madagasikara

What is the origin of the name of the country?
The Arabs say that it results of "mata qash " = the distant country. It is to verify. I do not speak Arabic I can not say if it is true or not. According to the historians the traveler Marco Polo would have mentioned the island of Madagascar in his narratives. Others say that he confused with Mogadishu (in Somalia). But the name stayed. Although Portuguese and French called it Saint Laurent in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Even the Natives don… Continue

Bonjour Dan. Je suis de retour après une mission de quelques semaines dans la région du Boina (Mahajanga). Il fait chaud ici.
Bonjour Dany. We are currently on a business trip in Tokyo where it is very chilly :-) We will be back in Hawaii tomorrow. Having some variety in the weather can be nice.

I hope we get to visit Mahajanga during our next trip.

Thank you for joining the Malagasy language group. If you have any suggestions for content, please let me know. I'll add it to the description or text box at the top.

Hi Dany,

I read some of your blogs. Thanks a lit for that. Now it is the Dec. 1st 2008 - it is very cold in Berlin - raining now - yesterday we had a little bit snow. But I like more sun than snow.



This is a photo by me with one of my favourite flowers: Sunflowers! Do you feel the sun? Do you have a christmas tree in Madagaskar? Here all have normally a christmas tree - and the streets are full of electic candle lights. maybe i will male a photo of it to share it with you.

All Best,
Jens

Aloha Dany. Thank you for explaining the Malagasy name Mika. I think northern European people and Russians also use the name Mika as short for Michael. I guess only Japanese use Mika for a womans name :-)

Malagasy names remind me of Hawaiian names. The old names are very long. Do they tell a story like Hawaiian names?

Salama ve? Manao ahoana ianareo sy Daniel? Tsara ve ny dia? I missed you. Welcome back.

Salama tsara aho. Fahasalamana? Nalahelo anao aho.

What does "Tsara ve ny dia?" mean? Sorry, my Malagasy is very poor.

Dan is doing well. Our trip was great!

Misaotra Dany! Have a great weekend. Mika and I leave for a trip to Turkey, Greece and Croatia today. We are very excited.

re: Mahajanga

I have read about Mahajanga, but never visited. We plan to visit the Boeny region during our next trip.

Veloma mandrapihaona
