Benjamín Ndong → Benjamín Edú – Benjamín Edú is the way he is called by the Equatoguinean Football Federation (FEGUIFUT).[1][2][3] Also, national-football-teams.com (used source in the article) call him that.[4] Note: Benjamín Edú Ndong Ndoho belongs to the Fang people. They have their own naming custom, which differs from the Spanish one. Firstly, a Spanish given name (in this case, Benjamín) (this was added after the arrival of the Spaniards to the region); secondly, the name of a relative (deceased or not) (in this case, Edú); thirdly, the name of a relative (deceased or not) from his father (in this case, Ndong); lastly, the name of a relative (deceased or not) from his mother (in this case, Ndoho). Sources about the Fang naming customs (the Obiang family does use it): [5][6] That is why FEGUIFUT call him Benjamín Edú and not Benjamín Ndong.--MonFrontieres (talk) 23:42, 27 July 2019 (UTC) --Relisting.
