'Ezuma' means 'good character'; 'responsible'; 'well-behaved" (ezi uma).

The rest of those names date back several centuries and probably had some meaning in archaic Aro language. I'm not sure of their meanings, myself.

Oh. Thanks.

there's a difference btween Oroma & oru- oma. Oroma is not a borrowed Igbo word. Oroma means Orange. that's why u see its usage in lime - Oroma nkirisi - which means the tiny type of orange or the smallish orange. Oroma is not usually given as names in igbo land, but u neva can tell, igbos are getting funky with new innovative names

What's the real meaning of Makachi? All I know is 'maka' means what and 'chi' means God. So does it just translate literally to 'What God'? That doesn't make much sense

MrsPhyno:

Maka = Because. Makachi = Because of God

Gini = What.

As Nwunye anyi (MrsPhyno) you've got to do better

Flora Nwapa's bios say she was born in Ugwuta. Do we actually know if she is from there or was just born there?

Obilor is actually the entire southern axis, and it's not that uncommon either.

Flora Nwapa was an Ugwuta woman. Her father was a very illustrious Ugwuta man. I can't remember his first name now.

Pls what's the meaning of 'OBIELUMANI'. How common is it as an Igbo name?

Obielumani is purely delta ibo (agbor to be precise) it means my mind is at rest.

Agbor? That's odd. Surely you meant Aboh. I cannot find anything Ika (Agbor) about 'Obielumani'.

Nwannam, maybe you can assist me. How is it that Ojiugo is both white Kola and beautiful, when Oji means Kola or black abi? And Ugo is eagle. Am I missing the various phonetic symbols perhaps?

RedCapChief:
ChinenyeN, I was hoping you could help me with something.
I'd like to know the meanings of 'Akwaeke' and 'Akwugo'. It seems like the 'akwa' component translates to egg and ugo meaning eagle/glory. It is really confusing.

cc:bigfrancis21

Ya, you're right. Akwaugo literally means 'the egg of an eagle'. 'akwaeke' would then literally mean 'egg of a python'.

Chimaaba:

Ojiugo is often used to describe a woman. Im not sure if it means 'eagle's kola' going by literal interpretation.

bigfrancis21:

There is a rare, highly-valued cream-coloured variety of kolanut called ojiugo. Used as a name, the implication is that the person so named is as valuable as the kola oji ugo.

BigFrancis21 is correct in the translation, but I will add to his response. In the context of names, Akwaeke translates as something between "precious" and "vulnerable". In context of names, Akwaugo would translate as something between "rare" and "not easy to come by".
