原This is my daughter's name. It is beautiful to me and she is named after my mother "Ema". I don't think it is a "ghetto" name as previous users stated. When my daughter is looking for a job her name won't matter because her skills and knowledge will be so impressive to anyone looking at her resume that she will be offered any job her heart desires and I will make sure of that. My daughter is African American and far from "ghetto" she is well spoken and well mannered and very smart. I wouldn't have named her anything else.
原I think English (African American) should be added as a usage. The word Imani, meaning "faith" in Swahili (the word itself is of Arabic origin, from iman), has been adopted by black Americans as the name of the Seventh Principle of Kwanzaa, a festival which arose in the 1960s to celebrate African heritage. Since then Imani has also been in use, primarily by people of that ethnicity, as a feminine name.
The usage of this name may have also been influenced by the famous Somali model Iman (b. 1955), though that's less likely since Iman never made the US charts (perhaps because of the -man ending). [noted -ed]
原This is a good name if you're looking for an authentic African name but its only downside is that because names like Keisha And Shaniqua nobody actually believes this name is 100% African so it's classified as 'the ghetto name.' And so it's hard to find a job with a 'ghetto name' so you should be really be careful about choosing this name because it would be hard for your daughter to have a good job with this name.

原This is the name of one of my cousins- but he's a boy! I didn't even realize this was a girl's name until I read Freakonomics and then looked it up here. I'm most definitely going to bring it up at the next family gathering and ask why they did that.
原Aw, the name Imani is really sweet! I know of two people named Imani, one I met was a little girl, and the other I met was a teen. Pretty cool sounding name. =) If you're an Imani, you're bound to be special.
原I have loved this name for a very long time. It is regal and lyrical. It has a beautiful meaning as well. Love the way it sounds and how it looks. Not much to dislike about the beautiful Imani. May use this for a daughter one day.

译 这是我女儿的名字。它对我是美丽的,她以我的母亲“Ema”命名。我不认为这是一个“ghetto”的名字,因为以前的用户说。当我的女儿寻找一份工作,她的名字没有关系,因为她的技能和知识将是如此令人印象深刻的任何人,看着她的简历,她将被提供任何她的心所期望的工作,我会确保这一点。我的女儿是非裔美国人,远离“贫民窟”,她说得很好,很有礼貌,非常聪明。我不会命名她任何其他。

译 我认为应该添加英语(非洲裔美国人)作为用法。斯瓦希里语中的伊玛尼一词意为“信仰”(这个词本身是阿拉伯语起源于伊曼语),被黑人美国人采纳作为宽扎的第七个原则的名称,这是在20世纪60年代庆祝非洲遗产的节日。从那时起,Imani也一直在使用,主要是由那种民族的人,作为一个女性的名字。\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e这个名字的用法也可能受到着名的索马里模型伊曼(b。1955)的影响,虽然这不太可能是因为伊曼从来没有制作美国图表(也许是因为曼码结束)。 [指出]

译 这是一个很好的名字,如果你正在寻找一个正宗的非洲名字,但它唯一的缺点是,因为名字像Keisha和Shaniqua没人真正相信这个名字是100%的非洲,所以它被归类为“犹太人的名字。所以很难找到一个“ghetto名字”的工作,所以你应该真的小心选择这个名字,因为你的女儿很难用这个名字做一个很好的工作。
