Etymology of the name KAFFIR.
Meaning of the baby name KAFFIR.

  

KAFFIR.  Although now considered an offensive term for a black person, especially in South Africa, this was previously a neutral term for a black southern African person.  It was derived from the Arabic word Kaifir, meaning "unbeliever." (Wiki) 

... A Kaffir boy was called Skellum, the Natal patois of the Dutch schelm, a rascal, and a man who had been in the Cape corps, called his children by the words of command, Right about face, and Left shoulder forward! (Yonge)
