Nomina Africana
Nomina Africana is the journal of the Names Society of Southern Africa
and publishes original peer reviewed research that makes a contribution
to the field of onomastics on the continent.
Studies that deal with any aspects of proper names and the naming
process and of relevance to any of the languages of the continent will
be considered for publication. Topics of interest to the journal emanate
from the fields of linguistics, language and literature as well as
history and geography, amongst other disciplines. Research and review
articles, short communications and book reviews are welcome.

Background
The first volume of Nomina Africana appeared in 1987, a
full six years after the formation of the Names Society, but it has
appeared regularly every year since then. Normally Nomina Africana
appears twice year, with the cover dates April and November, but
occasionally, when manuscripts are a bit thin on the ground, or when
the editor needs to catch up on the cover date, numbers (1) and (2)
appear in a single volume. Volumes 15 and 16 appeared as special
issues, with the titles A World of Names 1 and A World of Names 2,
together constituting a festschrift for NSA founder member and names
researcher extraordinary Professor Peter E Raper. At the end of October
2011, final editing was being done on a special issue, Nomina Africana
25 (1 & 2), marking the 25th issue and simultaneously the 30th
birthday of the Names Society.
A list of all article titles and all the authors of the 25 issues of Nomina Africana can be found here.

In the early years of Nomina Africana, the journal was edited jointly
by Professor TJ Botha (“Oom Theuns”), Dr Lucie Möller, and Dr Peter
E.Raper. Volume 4(1) 1990 says that BA Meiring, LA Möller, and PE Raper
were the “Final editors”, but from Volume 6 (1992) onwards it appears
that the journal was produced by an Editorial Committee, consisting of
PE Raper, LA Möller, JU Jacobs, BA Meiring, and ER Jenkins. This
situation continued until Volume 13 (1999) when Johan Jacobs, of the
University of Natal (as it then was), was named individually for the
first time as “Editor, Nomina Africana” (and Adrian Koopman joined the
Editorial Committee.
