Azizi Powell is the one you should contact.

On Mudcat she has described her interests in Caribbean music, African religions in the Caribbean, etymology, and specifically the origins and meanings of name & nicknames.

You may reach her through her website www.cocojams.com

I sense a kindred spirit with you two.
May you do well, live long and prosper.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
