Cajun Names
It's interesting how much you can find out about someone just from their last name. As you travel across the world, the names change. They tell you where someone is likely from, where his ancestors were from, what kinds of food they enjoy, their likely race, and so much more. Every bit of our DNA is expressed through our names. While this is changing as people are mixing and moving outside of their traditional boundaries, it is still true to a degree. I have always enjoyed Cajun names, and I hope that you will too. If you have one that I have missed, will you please email us? Enjoy these names that are now as much a part of Louisiana as the food is.
