Hi Jordan! Where did you find this information? I was sure that it was an African name. Of course all names are derived from so many different cultures, which makes it very intersting. Thanks I really appreciate you! Sincerely-

From what I've found, Shamba is predominantly used as a name in the Indian culture, but I just found something that says it IS a Swahili word meaning "a smallholding" ( http://onelook.com/?w=smallholding&ls=a ). I also just found out that Shamba is the Hindustani word for the seventh day of the week (Saturday).
