I do think Nelson could be a real name. I think now that he died more people will want to name their kids Nelson.Do you know where did he die and how? Do you also know if Nelson Mandela actually went to ms. Midganes funeral?
ReplyDeleteI thought this was a really interesting question, so I looked into it. I found out Nelson's real name was Rolihlahla. His father gave him this name, and it means "pulling the branch of a tree.” It can also mean “troublemaker.” So I agree that Nelson was not his real name. My source also said the name Nelson was given to him at school by his teacher, Miss Mdingane.
