The future actress’s mother, Claire Marie Stoermer, and father, Kazembe Ajamu (né Samuel David Coleman), did not have any children, but she does have five half-siblings from her father’s previous marriages.
Even though she is best known by her stage name, Zendaya (pronounced Zen-DAY-uh), her full given name has significant meaning to her family’s history and culture.
The 2016 Us Weekly interviewee explained that her name “is literally me in a name” because it combines her “African first name” with the “French but we did it African spelling” a middle name she inherited from her mother. “Then there’s Stoermer, Coleman, and the rest of the gang. There is a historical era named after me, dude.”
