Fact 2: It’s easy to forget but even the most impressive people can have humble origins

Africancestry.com traced his lineage to the specific ethnic groups of his ancestry homes.
Fact 4: Most of us live our entire lives using the name we got at birth. And sure, there is something nice and familiar about it… but don’t we all secretly want a name full of power and meaning?
