  • Quvenzhané Wallis:

    “Quven,” the first part of her name, combines her parents’ first names, while her mother has stated that zhané means “fairy” in Swahili.

    Other people are saying that's not true about Swahili. I'm confused.

  • *bing* And here I am.

    Swahili uses neither zh nor any accents. It is not the remotest bit like a Swahili word. It does however remind me of the Albanian word for 'fairy', zanë.

    *bing* <- has disappeared

  • I shudder (I do hope genteelly)

    And ask myself, "Can it be, really?"

    I must trust the fairy

    Who answers my query:

    Quvenzhané's in no way Swahili.
