“In some cultures, such as those in West Africa, Bali, and Burma, as well as among Native Americans and Eskimos, it is expected that a person who dies, whether young or old, will reincarnate into at least the same tribe or community, if not into the same family. When a child is born, they look for signs — birthmarks, especially — to learn which of their recently deceased tribesmen has returned. Later, to prove this identity, they test the young child’s ability to recognize personal objects of the deceased. Among the Yorubas of West Africa, it is customary to greet a newborn with the salutation: 'Thou art come!' They name boys Babatunde, which means 'Father has returned', and they name girls Yetunde, which means 'Mother has returned'.”
