[edit] Origins
The name is believed to be a hybrid name with origins in the dutch and local native dialects of South Africa. It's commonly accepted meaning is "Song of God" and is usually given to female children.
Many of the original Affrikkans settlers were devoutly religious and it was not uncommon to give thanks to the creator in word or song. A story is told that a local holy man had a vision where this name would be given to a female child who would bring many people back to a deep belief and loving relationship with God.
