Some of these names have striking similarity in Igbo language. Ugwodenyi - Ugwo and Enyi mean debt and friendship respectively in Igbo. Erimma - a name given to Igbo girls. Ijeh - journey in Igbo Ominyi - Enyi means elephant in Igbo. Ominyi would be Ogbuenyi in Igbo. 3 Likes |

Igede dialect has a link with the Igbo language. I once travel to Udi LGA of Enugu State, most of the names I heard there were more like the names the Igede people bear. bigfrancis21: 2 Likes |

maxinvile: There is a town called Egede in that Udi area of Enugu State. I wonder if they have any connection with you people. They also have a kind of music they play around there called Igede music. It is played with big drums. 3 Likes |
