    What is the origin of the name "Condoleezza" as in Condoleezza Rice?

    Question #52790. Asked by puzzlerguy. (Nov 30 04 1:37 PM)


    doomed

    		Condoleezza Rice derives her first name from the musical term 'con dolcezza' which means 'to play with sweetness'. Invention of names seems particularly common among African-Americans.
