dannyjesutofunmi:Bello is Fulani name which means helper and because Sir Ahmadu Bello is popular figure in Hausa land, any male child named Ahmadu or Ahmed are nicknamed "Bello" Sanni/Sani an arabic name meaning majestic or brilliant. Danjuma is an Hausa name named after a male child born on Friday. The female name is "Jummai" Awwal is an Arabic name meaning popular and origin which Hausas and other tribes like Yorubas and others misspelt as" Lawal" and "Lawali" 1 Like |

VomeSchakleton: The name "Badamasi" originated from the name of a jurist, scholar and poet of the Maliki Madh-hab (school of thought) Abu Abdul Allah Shams al din Muhammad al badamasi, he wrote alot of books and commentaries on Malikiyya Islamic jurisprudence and his works were well known and studied by Hausaland Scholars of the 18-19th Century. In Hausaland his poem "Al-Badamasiyya fi madh-al_nabi s.a.w" (The Badamasi in the praise of the prophet pbuh), was well known and this I believe is wat made Hausa people started naming their Sons after him, as its the tradition of Hausa people (of 18-19th) to name their children after renown Islamic scholars or sheiks E.g. Sheik Ahmad al-Tijan - Tijjani. Sheik Abdulqadir al-Gilan - Jilana/Jelani Sheik Jalaluddeen al-suyut - Suyuudi As for the meaning of the name I dont think it has any meaning bc its the name of the region or town the sheik hailed from, bc that was the style of prolific writers and Sheiks of the Islamic Middle age; to put at the end of their names the name of their towns/region and the school of thought they belong to or the Sufi order they belong to. So just like Tijjani, Buhari, Jilani, Suyudi among others were names of towns/regions so also is "Badamasi". But actually I cant trace in which region or Country this location was, but the scholar was believed to be from Egypt. 1 Like |

dannyjesutofunmi: Bello is a Fulani name, its correct pronounciation is "Beldo or Ballu" which means "Sweetness' in fulfulde but it was slightly corrupted to Bello. The full name is Muhammad Bello, it became popular because of the first Sultan of the Sokoto caliphate Sultan Muhammad Bello (r.1817-1837), and later in the 20th century because of the Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of the Northern Region Sir Ahmadu Bello. Sani- is a Hausa/Fulani name with Origin from the Arabic word "As-saani" which means "The second". The full name is Muhammad Saani. Danjuuma- is a Hausa name which means "He that was born on a Friday" . Lawal/Lawan- is also a Fulani name its correct pronounciation is "Lawol" but corrupted to "Lawal/Lawan which means "path" in fulfulde. The full name is also "Muhammad Lawol" |
