Masego

The Setswana word for "blessings", built on the root sego, which describes something fortunate or blessed.

Meaning and origin

Masego takes the same root, sego, that gives Lesego its meaning, and pairs it with the class 6 prefix ma- to put it in the plural, so the name reads as blessings rather than a single blessing.

How to pronounce Masego

English (US)mah-SEH-goh /maˈsɛɣɔ/
