Traditional Ritual of a Child – Bestowal of Names
Elders of the family and other kinship ties present performed the ritual of naming the first born child. \n\t\nThen a first kava presented which is normally the sevusevu of the child. A second kava was presented by heralds signifying the ancient ritual of the vanua “lotu vakavanua” to introduce the name yet to be bestowed upon the child.\n
