Silas
Biblical missionary and friend of Paul (one of my favorite people in the Bible)
Means man of the woods
Means asked for
Selamu
His given first name
Means get peace
Yoseph
His given middle name
His birthmother's father's first name
During the Christmas season, I kept thinking of his name and how Joseph was the 'birthfather' of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, and how Silas spread the Good News.
He was born in area of Ethiopia called Kembata Tembaro Zone and it looks about like this. I figure 'man of the woods' is appropriate.
