Onalerona

A Setswana name-sentence, "he or she is with us", built on the verb nna le, "to be with", and rona, "us".

Meaning and origin

Onalerona joins the verb for being present with the pronoun for us, so the name itself announces that the newborn now belongs among the family, rather than describing a quality of the child.
