NameAfrique preserves authentic pronunciation of African names — so no one ever has to hear their name mangled again.
Find names by country or by tribe — then tap to hear the pronunciation.
🎙️ "Every name on NameAfrique is pronounced by a native African — never by an algorithm"
Test your knowledge of meanings, tribes, countries, and pronunciation.
African names carry history, meaning, and identity, but in schools, boardrooms, media organisations and even hospitals across the world, they're routinely mispronounced — sometimes unintentionally, always painfully. NameAfrique is your one-stop, open audio library where every African name can be properly heard, not just read.
Know an African name that should be on NameAfrique? Submit it below and we'll verify and add it to the library.
