I’m blogging with Anonymity

YES! Jemima Kameyo is an anonymous blogger.

Some of my faithful friends – bloggers and non-bloggers alike - had emailed me because they wanted to know why I had chosen to use the name Jemima Kameyo?

Jemima was my late grandmother’s name. It means dove.

A dove symbolizes peace. Hence, like a dove, I believe I can ‘fly’ and hence I am free to blog & write whatever that pleases me with tranquility.

 

Kameyo is my Japanese name. When my mum was a few months pregnant with me, my dad went fishing with his business friend from Japan. While Dad was sharing the happy news with his friend, they saw a turtle emerged, his friend said that if mum gave birth to a daughter, she must be called Kameyo.

‘Kame’ means turtle and ‘yo’ is a suffix.

Another definition of ‘Kame’ is earthenware pot or jar.

So, be it a turtle or an earthenware pot, I guess it simply means a long life for me.
