Bouzendaga Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

This name was first borne by El Haj Lakbir Bouzendaga. The surname comes from an animal called the rhinoceros beetle, which fell into the wrapping of a baby called 'lhaj Lakbir. The beetle has a small horn on the top of his head called a zendaga in Darija, or Street Arabi. 'lhaj Lakbir's father 'lhaj Mohammed decided to give the child the surname Bouzendaga as a result. The suffix bou means 'father', but here it means 'someone who has something'. It means ''lhaj Lakbir has zendaga'. The family lived in Chaoui, Settat, next to Ben Ahmed, a small city of Hamdaoua Mzab.
