Fanon's chosen names were Ibrahim (father of many or a nation) and Omar (flourishing or long-life). He confessed to his brother Joby that he would die young. He died at age 36.

His legacy (many) and thought (brilliant) continue to flourish.

Frantz Marguerite Victor Fanon was born on the 25th of July 1925. "Frantz" means freedom; "Marguerite" means pearl; "victor" speaks for itself; and "Fanon" in Gaelic means "fair," and in Latin is "cloth" worn by the Pope.
