The Complete List of Nguni Surnames or Clan Names

Following is a list of all Nguni groups in general, including amaZulu, amaHlubi, amaSwati, amaNdebele (north and south) and partly amaXhosa. This list was forwarded to me by e-mail by one Mthombeni in June 2012, stating that they are “all the Nguni” surnames, including Swati, Zulu, Ndebele, and some Shangaan. To avoid tempering too much with the list, I have left it almost as it was sent to me, leaving all the various repetitions in place. Those surnames we already know to be of Bukalanga or are names of animals or body parts are marked with an asterisk (*). They comprise about 3% of the list, and about 2.1% on the Xhosa list, showing a non-Nguni origin. See The Historiography of Southern Africa: Proceedings of the Experts Meeting held at Gaborone, Botswana from 7 to 11 March, 1977, “On the other hand one is struck by the fact that all these other groups observe totems to mark descent, and the Nguni, as a rule, do not” (Unesco 1980: Online). The list goes as follows:

XHOSA CLAN NAMES

Xhosa clan names (isiduko (sing.), iziduko (pl.) in Xhosa) are family names which are considered more important than surnames among Xhosa people. Much like the clan system of Scotland, each Xhosa person can trace their family history back to a specific male ancestor or stock. Mentioning the clan name of someone you wish to thank is the highest form of respect, and it is considered polite to enquire after someone’s clan name when you meet them. The clan name is also sometimes used as an exclamation by members of that clan. A few clan names of amaXhosa and related ethnic groups include:


1. Bhayi (Khetshe, Mkhumbeni, Msuthu – they belong to the amaVundle people).
