Uhura never had another name during the series. One of the fan writers wrote “Upenda” - which means “peace” in Swahili, I understand — not officially, but in some of their fan writings. And it sort of took hold. But when they were going to do the official history of Star Trek in a published book, the writer called Gene and asked him was “Uhura” her first name or her last name? Gene said, “Well, Nichelle and I never decided.” We always leaned towards it being her last name because it’s taken from the Swahili “uhuru” which means freedom. So it would sort of be like the same as “Freeman.” So he said, “You can make it her last name.” The writer said, “What about her first name? I’ve come up with one in Swahili. It’s Nyota.” Gene said, “I can’t give you that permission because Nichelle and I named her together, and she has rights to that, so you’ll have to call her and get her permission.” So he gave him my number, and he called me and I laughed and was delighted. He said, “I have a name and it’s Nyota.” I said, “That’s quite beautiful. What does it mean?” He said, “It means ‘star’.” I said, “You can have my permission!” So I have since said that her name is Nyota Upenda Uhura, which would mean a free-floating star: “star of freedom and peace”. I like that.—NICHELLE NICHOLS

#Don’t pander to me kid. One tiny crack in the hull and our blood boils in thirteen seconds., #Solar flare might crop up cook us in our seats., #And wait till you’re sitting pretty with a case of Andorian shingles., #See if you’re still so relaxed when your eyeballs are bleeding!, #Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence., #keep calm and DAMMIT JIM,

   Cottage in Bibury, Gloucestershire, street in Castle Combe, Wiltshire; villages in the Cotswold area of England.

   Between Bath- the southernmost edge- and Chipping Campden (ten miles from Stratford-upon-Avon) at the northernmost border, lie the Cotswolds; an area of bucolic pastures and picturesque villages of honey-coloured stone presenting pastoral England at its perfectly perfect prettiest.

   Now, there is also plenty of twee, tourists, and traffic, so be prepared for this.You might want to avoid weekends. And for heaven’s sake do NOT go on a bank holiday! Don’t go anywhere on a bank holiday! NOWHERE AT ALL. (Bibury above and Castle Combe below, both by VT_Professor on flickr)
