Because if you can have a name with so much power that make you feel like you have so much power they will pull you down to that part that you feel like nothing so it means there name make them feel power without them they feel like nothing but a person
Your name is synonymous with your NATURE.This is why your use your SIGN-ATURE or "SIGN your NATURE" When someones name is changed,all information about his nature is changed. Your name identifies your with a culture,nation,clan. The European slave masters wanted the slave to have NO PART in remembering his culture,renaming the African,or not allowing him to keep his name is akin to a father naming his newborn child..now the child identifies with his father.If someones name is Marciano,you can identify him with perhaps being Italian.Schmidt,German,Romonoski,Polish etc. But when you have an African man whose name is William Johnson it doesn't identify him with any culture EXCEPT it might possibly tie him etymologically(if you trace the name), with his master's culture.To sum it up,it was to "remake" the newly incarcerated African.
