Dlamini (Also spelt Dhlamini) is an African clan and surname, common in South Africa and Eswatini. It is the most common surname in South Africa. [1]
The Dlamini clan can be traced back to a man known as Dlamini I, who was also called Matalatala. He is said to have migrated with the other Bantu people from the Great Lakes Region of East Africa during the Bantu expansion. Matalatala is the source of all known Dlamini clan names.[2] The Dlamini clan can be found in all of the ethnic groups of the Nguni branch of Bantu people in South Africa and Eswatini. Dlamini clan praises differ depending on whether they are Dlaminis from the Xhosa, Zulu or Swazi branch of the Dlamini clan.
