What is your source?  I recently saw ''Is There In Truth No Beuty,''
and when Spock melds with the Medusan, he says something like,
''And Uhura, who's name means freedom.''  I seriously doubt that he's
referring to any other name than Uhura.  
I have no way of knowing which personal names Roddenberry has given Uhura,
so I do not argue with the names themselves (though I think Upenda sounds
like something sailboats do in a squall :-)
