In appearances at Star Trek conventions, Nichols indicated the character is "Nyota [U]penda Uhura"; [1] and, in her 1996 novel, Saturn's Child, she named the mother of the titular character "Nyota".

If you want to include this claim, you'll need to cite a reliable source. The first part should be easily verifiable too. It never makes sense to start a revert war over an unsourced claim. czar 16:04, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
We read in the article:
I do not understand why "Zulu" (or a similarity to this name) might act against the plan for racial diversity. Having a character whose very name evokes an association with Africa sounds ideal for this purpose. -- Austrian ( talk) 21:21, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't get it. What information are you talking about? The original Star Trek developers did know that "Zulu" is an African name, and that it would be perceived as an African name. Adding a woman with African ancestry makes the bridge crew more racially diverse; giving her an African name does so, too. Why would the name "Sulu" act against diversity, but not the name "Uhura"? -- Austrian ( talk) 12:27, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
