Stay in peace
Derived from the Xhosa language of South Africa, this name is rooted in the verb 'ukuxola', which translates to being at peace or being satisfied. It is traditionally used to express a sense of calm or a wish for a peaceful life for the child. While rare in the United States, it carries a serene and powerful rhythmic quality.
