Origin of first and middle names
editIn an effort to be more properly encyclopedic, shouldn't we explain the origin of Jackson's first and middle names, Ketanji and Onyika? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 00:32, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- While I'm not innately opposed to the idea - given Jackson has often talked about the origin of her name as having derived from her parents support of the civil rights movement and the subsequent black cultural movement in various interviews - I'm not sure it's notable as much more than trivia. I'm not aware of any other notable figures who have the meaning behind their birth names explained in their article but if there are some feel free to provide mention of them for reference and comparison. 24.155.0.146 (talk) 21:36, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Appearance on Broadway
editShe had a speaking part in a Broadway show (one time only) recently.
