Yes. Amongst the white population, this is still a remnant of the European ancestry, whereas among the traditional African populations, the first name is a name in their own language and the second name is an English (aka Christian or "teaching") name, which is a remnant of the old days when white people refused to use the "natives'" African names or when African names were considered "too difficult" to learn.
