Rejoicing or joyful
Dakhari is a modern name likely derived from the Shona name Dakari, which means 'rejoice' or 'be glad'. It has gained some visibility in the United States as a rhythmic, contemporary choice within the African-American community. The addition of the 'h' is a common stylistic variation in American naming practices.
