The name was given to a group of young men who went through initiation together. The group was called Rika.

Though the tradition is not practiced, the name is passed on through the naming system in a family from the ancestor who had received the name through the initiation to the next generation. As a result it is now used as a birth/given name inh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
