Urhobo Names (For My Baby) by NgrPrince3: 11:04pm On Apr 21, 2009
I'm having a baby girl and I'm looking for an urhobo name. Can you guys give me some very good suggestions.

By the way I've seen this website already, http://www.waado.org/UrhoboCulture/Names/UrhoboNames_oyibo.htm

Wasn't a fan of any of the names for girls.

But as for pronouncements:

Kesiena - Ke-Sienna Sienna as in Sienna Miller.
Ofaye - Oh-Fa-Yay.
Onateri - Oor-Na-Teri (This is enough).
Osevwe - Oh-Se-Vwe.

Thanks. I appreciate the names you provided. If you have more that will be great, so far I like Ofaye and Kesienna, but i would like to know what else you or anyone else has or can provide. THANKS!

Good list Sienna and well done. I always thought Ogheneovo meant "One God" as opposed to " God alone". undecided

@ Poster this is my list,
Eseoghene or Ese= God's gift
Afure= i think it means Purity
Doro= Not sure of its meaning
Oghenemaro OR Maro=Roughly means God is great or big.
Efemena OR Mena=Here is my wealth.

Re: Urhobo Names (For My Baby) by akello08: 9:56pm On Jun 30, 2009
I called my baby girl OgheneTega  meaning God is worship worthy she was born in May 09 and we call her Tega for short.  My husband is Urhobo and i'm Jamaican.

Norioghene is nice!

Good luck!
