I like this and how African Americans are returning to Muslim names of their Ancestors:
Arabic names do not necessarily make one a Muslim, at least not in the Maghreb or Levant
where Arabs are Christians and Jews too.
But it was the spread of
Islam that brought Arabic names to West Africa.
So these African and
Afro-American Aminas and Akbars
or at least their parents or grandparents, were almost surely Muslims.

Also applied to Guyana and TnT and Jamaica ?
They never had a solid Afro muslim population even til today
Practical Rules for the Management and Medical Treatment of Negro Slaves in the Sugar Colonies (1803)
focused on the West Indies
– advised that Muslims ‘are excellent for the care of cattle and horses, and for domestic service’
but ‘little qualified for the ruder labours of the field, to which they never ought to be applied’.
the author noted that on the plantations: ‘
Many of them converse in the Arabic language.’
