[Facts] Amani
I was just wondering if Amani for a girl is really Swahili for 'peace'? Can anyone confirm this?Thanks :)

According to the following site, "amani" is the Swahili word for "peace".http://africanlanguages.com/swahili/This does NOT necessarily mean that Amani is used as a name in East Africa. Quite a few Swahili words have been turned into names by African-Americans, but are not used as names by native Swahili speakers.
