An Arabic Name
What’s in a name? A lot! Wiz was born Cameron Jibril Thomaz, but his stage name is a repetition of the Arabic/Muslim word for wisdom. “Khalifa” was given to him by his grandfather who was Muslim. “He felt like that’s what I was doing with my music,” Wiz said about his grandfather’s name choice. Maybe Wiz will name his son something Arabic/Muslim to pass down the tradition. Here’s some suggestions, Wiz: How about Najam (Star), Katib (Writer, Scribe), Azhar (Most Shining, Luminous), or Fa’iz (Winner)?
