-===Naming Traditions===
-Traditions associated with the naming of a child vary widely across ethnicities and religions. Most Cameroonians are given at least one name that is tied to their ethnic roots, traditional leadership, or family heritage. They may also be given a more Westernized first name. Muslims usually give their children names related to Islam. In predominantly Muslim areas, babies are forbidden from leaving their mother's room for one week after birth. When the week is up,
-a naming ceremony takes place, starting at dawn and lasting the entire day. The father announces the name and brings the child into the open. Guests bring gifts for the baby and mother and stay to eat and talk.<ref>"Republic of Cameroon CultureGram", https://www.ciee.org/sites/default/files/content/hsib/orientation/cameroon.pdf, accessed 10 April 2021.</ref>
 ===Surnames Historical Development===
@@ Line 50: / Line 52: @@
 A good way to determine naming customs of the area is to study the patterns found in the records of birth/christening, marriages, and burials/deaths. If major changes occur in the naming patterns or form used, that could indicate a ministerial change, perhaps one coming from another area. Several books are available that list variant forms of given names.
