[edit] french slave names

in the french colonies, the slaves were given names meaning things like Moustache or Ladocile(Docile person), supposedly in mauritius there are people in the country, who bear some surnames differing from their nom papiers(slave names which they are known by the government as) and nom lakaz (names taken through oral history) , but not enough funds was put into that project) More information can be found from this site: http://www.mrc.org.mu/uscpa18.htmDomsta333 04:12, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
