Nelson Mandela's real name is Rolihlahla Mandela. In the Xhosa language, "Rolihlahla" translates to "pulling the branch of a tree" or, more metaphorically, "to cause trouble." The name reflects a traditional African naming practice, where names often carry significant meanings or implications about a person's character or destiny. Mandela was given the name Nelson by a teacher in school, which is a common practice in South Africa to provide children with English names.
