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. |

Aghoho - Happiness. Efe - Riches. Elohor - Emuobome - Emuobosa - Emuesiri - Enaruvie - Evwoma - Idiata - What they say. Imoni - Kesiena - Ofaye - Oghenovo - God alone. Omoghaghare - Precious child. Onajite - This is enough. Onateri - Onome - This is mine. Onoriode - Who knows tomorrow? Oro - Osevwe - Tobore - Ufuoma - Peace. I'll be back with more, but these are some to chew the fat on. 1 Like |

Thanks, How do you say some of these names and what are their meanings. Exuse me for my ignorance, I am in the US and don't know how to speak the language. Kesiena - Ofaye - Onateri - Osevwe - |
Re: Urhobo Names (For My Baby) by Nobody: 4:32am On Apr 23, 2009 |
^^^ I'm not that clued up with all the meanings myself. 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. |
Re: Urhobo Names (For My Baby) by NgrPrince3: 6:30am On Apr 23, 2009 |
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". @ 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. |

@elsie2 Thanks for the post. Afure is a nice one, Any otherS? |

Anaborhi (Abbrv. Naborhi) - Be born with good destiny Mitaire (Abbrv. Mitai ) - Enita (Abbrv. Nita) - Watch what you say Ufuoma - Peace of mind Oviereya - Queen. All the names above are unisex, with the exception of Oviereya. |

I am sure of spelling) Means: It is the presence of the Lord , or grace of God , or blessing of the Lord - Ero - Means: shining , the one that shines like star , beautiful as gold , or bright shining - Idiri - Means: I have endured , I have stayed the course , long suffering , patience |
