I hope I am not late, but maybe you should consider the name {Leloaleng} the word is not just about bread but since you said “we specilise in feeding schemes.” the word Leloaleng, Lelwaleng is a place where you go and get food, bread flour, maize flour and grains. I thought your feeding schemes sound like Leloaleng.

I hope it works. please let us know which name you choose.

I would go for “lehae la bohobe” or ‘habo bohobe’ meaning the “home of bread”. Sounds more original than “house of bread” wouldn’t you say Liz?

I am by no means an expert, just an Englishman who fell in love with this part of Africa.
Draken is a possibly Germanic word for Dragon and Berg is a mountain.
In Zulu ‘uKhahlamba’ means ‘Barrier of Spear’. I have no idea what it is in Sotho and really look forward to knowing.

Liz,
Literally it would be “Ntlo ea Bohobe” or “Ntlo ya Bohobe”, in Lesotho and South Africa respectively.

We started a bakery in wepener, we specilise in feeding schemes and would like to call it “house of bread” can you give me an accurate translation. I am intersted in other ideas round the bread theme if your readers wish to contribute.

Hey Nadia I am sesotho educator and I could help and teach you some basics of sesotho, as it is also my mother tongue and major course.
