Sekani

Sekani is a name of African origin, specifically from the Tumbuka language spoken in Malawi and Zambia. It is a modern name that has gained popularity due to its positive and uplifting meaning. The Tumbuka people are an ethnic group predominantly found in northern Malawi, eastern Zambia, and southern Tanzania. Their language, Chitumbuka, is part of the Bantu language family.

The name's usage has spread beyond its original cultural context, particularly in African diaspora communities, where names with strong positive meanings are often favored. Its unisex nature also contributes to its appeal, allowing it to be used for both boys and girls.
