Choosing a good Amazigh name is not as easy as it might seem. The Amazigh, also called Berbers, live mainly across Morocco and Algeria. Smaller communities also live scattered around Europe.
Not all of them have the same customs or even appearance. They all have one thread that they share, namely the language, and that one also varies from place to place.
These names were also imbued with history, too. The Arabic/Muslim roots of many Amazigh names are a legacy of centuries of conquest and change.
