Help[Facts] Origin of a Afro-american name
Hello,
I'm trying to trace the origin of my adopted daughter's first name, "Dujeray". She is afro-american. It's probably something her parents made up, but we are very curious about it and would like to be able to tell her what it means.
Thanks,
--Kat

Maybe Dujeray is an afroamericanized version of the French Desiree, meaning "desired" :)

It looks like a made-up name to me, too, Kat. There was only one other "Dujeray" that I found on the 'net -- regarding a legal proceding in Franklin County, Ohio:

That wouldn't be your child, would it -- before you adopted her?
If the name truly is a made-up name, you can always tell Dujeray that her name is an anagram of "Judy Rae" or "Audrey J."

Yep, That would be my child. They have to notify the biological father before adoption proceedings can be finalized. Wow! I can't believe that was on the internet.
Thanks for the info.

It is a very nice thing you are doing. The girl may need something when she gets older. I'm gonna set out one of my infamous offerings for everybody involved in the adoption.
Kat, another thing EXTREMELY important: get her biological family's medical history. It will save a lot of pain and heartache later on inthe doctor's office and elsewhere.
