[edit]Hi @Magnolia677, I did not put any source on my first edits and cleared my mistake and added the source and here are two citations from that book.
here are two citations to support my edits:
''[...]Some designations that scholars have taken to mean a port or a coastal designation had other meanings. In Louisiana and no doubt elsewhere in the Americas as well, “Senegal,” a coastal designation, meant Wolof. During the first years of the African presence in Louisiana, Le Page du Pratz, director of the Company of the Indies, noted that the Wolof were called Senegal by the French colonists but they continued to be called Wolof (“Djolaufs”) among themselves[...]''
''[...]In Louisiana as well, Africans shipped from Senegambia retained African names out of proportion to their numbers in the slave population. For example, the Bamana were 5.5 percent of the most frequent African ethnicities but had 10.3 percent of the African names. The Mandingo were 10.9 percent but had 12.7 percent of the African names. The Wolof were 7 percent of the most frequent ethnicities and had 9 percent of the African names.[...]
