Hausa people in parts of Niger Republic, Northern Nigeria, Sudan, Ghana and others are known with fond of representing names of prophets and prophets companions, then their particular native names as backup, making it second or third names. This traditional naming is more privalent to the ruralship or township Hausas, in exemption to their urbanised counterparts which some take as being gravely unletterd, not knowing that numbers of the names they are contemplating to be of Arabian origin are not Arabic. Names like Nuhu (Noah), Ibrahim(Abraham), Idris(Enoch), Dauda, Dawud
(David), Imran, Isah(Jesus), Samu(Samuel), Hana(Hannah), Yunusa(Jonah) e.t.c are not Arabic names and they don’t have meanings in Arabic language; The present Arabians describe the names by saying name of such prophet of God, but in Hausa, numbers have meanings, being that Hausa is one of ancient african civilisations that dwelled in the Middle East in those days, according to hausa analysts.


Hausa native names are given to new born children or people after their birth, situations surrounding their birth, their numbers in a family and peoples roles in a society after they had grown-up. In hausa culture, the names are referred to as grandparents names “Sunayen kakanni” who are always the leaders in every hausa family. Any hausa speaker can grasp meaning of the names by mention, because they have deep hausa language roots and showcased hausa way of life. The names are still being maintained by various Hausa subgroups like; Gobirawas, Tagamawas, Adarawas, Kurfayawas, Cidarawas, Arawas, Daurawas, Kanawas, Kabawas, Katsinawas, Ranawas, Hadejawas, Zazzagawas, Zamfarawas e.t.c

Those who are ambassadors of their families, villages, towns and states add its name in their names e.g Bashir Adamu Gobir, Abubakar Ibrahim Gobir, Aminu Yahayya Sokoto, Nuhu Gobir, Alhaji Adam Rano, Bashir Abubakar Katsina, Malam Kabiru Daura, e.t.c
