500 Fijian names: iTaukei first names such as Josefa, Waisale and Mereani, chiefly forms such as Ratu Meli and Adi Kelera, surnames such as Nayacalevu and Tuisova, and Indo-Fijian names such as Avinesh Narayan.

About Fijian names

Fiji has two main naming traditions. The iTaukei, the indigenous Fijians, mostly carry first names that the missions brought in the 1800s, respelled to fit Fijian sounds: Josefa is Joseph, Tevita is David, Setareki is Shadrach, Ilisapeci is Elizabeth, Mereani is Mary Ann and Salote is Charlotte. Beside them are names from the language itself, such as Seru, Ledua, Tokasa and Talei. Children are often named after a relative.

Fijian spelling has its own rules. C is the th of "this", b is mb, d is nd, g is the ng of "singer" and q is the ng of "finger", so Cakobau is said Thakombau. Men of chiefly rank put Ratu before the name and women put Adi, and some provinces use Ro and Bulou instead. The titles are inherited, so keep them for characters of chiefly family.

About a third of Fijians are of Indian descent. Most descend from laborers who came under indenture between 1879 and 1916, and a father's given name such as Prasad, Chand, Lal or Kumar often became the family surname. A few surnames, such as Konrote and Fatiaki, come from the island of Rotuma. The list has not been checked by Fijian speakers, so confirm a spelling before you rely on it.

How to choose Fijian names

Say the name before you use it. The letters c, b, d, g and q do not sound the way an English reader expects: Nayacalevu has a th in the middle and Rawaqa ends in ngga.
Use Ratu and Adi only for chiefly characters. Ratu Meli or Adi Kelera tells a Fijian reader that the person was born into a chiefly family, which matters in a village scene.
Keep the Fijian form of a Bible name. On paper a villager is Josefa, Mosese or Ilisapeci, not Joseph, Moses or Elizabeth.
Keep the two traditions apart inside one full name. Avinesh Narayan and Shobna Devi are Indo-Fijian, Waisale Tuisova and Litia Nayacalevu are iTaukei, and a mixed name needs a reason in your story.
Long surnames are normal. Waqaniburotu, Tagitagivalu and Murimurivalu are printed in full in any rugby program, so do not shorten them for an English reader.

Frequently asked questions

What are common Fijian names?

Among iTaukei men you meet Josefa, Tevita, Jone, Viliame, Waisale and Epeli everywhere, and among women Mereani, Litia, Salote, Ana and Makereta. Common Indo-Fijian surnames are Prasad, Singh, Chand, Lal, Kumar and Narayan. iTaukei surnames are far more varied, and many belong to one village or district.

What do Ratu and Adi mean?

They are hereditary chiefly titles, Ratu for men and Adi for women, placed before the given name as in Ratu Peni or Adi Losalini. They are not first names, and a person outside a chiefly family does not use them. Some provinces use other titles in the same way, such as Ro and Bulou.

Why do so many Fijian names look biblical?

Because they are. Missionaries reached Fiji in 1835, the islands became strongly Christian, and Bible and English names were respelled for Fijian, in which every syllable ends in a vowel. That is how Shadrach became Setareki, Wesley became Waisale and Vashti became Vasiti.

Are Indo-Fijian names different from names in India?

The stock is the same: mostly north Indian names, a south Indian share such as Reddy, Naidu, Pillay and Goundar, and Muslim names such as Khan, Ali and Hussein. What is local is the fashion. First names that end in esh and eel, such as Avinesh, Ravinesh, Praneel and Shivneel, are especially popular in Fiji.
