juba
One entry found for juba.

Main Entry: ju·ba
Pronunciation: 'jü-b&
Function: noun
Etymology: origin unknown
: a dance of Southern plantation blacks accompanied by complexly rhythmic hand clapping and slapping of the knees and thighs

DH made up this name for me and it has stuck with all of my friends and family. This definition is strangely suiting.

my partner has been juba since he was an infant

though it's not his legal name, so i know there's even more to the name. check out wikipedia, for example:
