Am I Descendant Of Igbo Priests? by blackpinkgal: 1:58am On Jun 05, 2023 |
Hello I’m new to Nairaland. I am a Igbo girl born and raised in the United States of America. Due to not growing up in Igboland, I am very ignorant of certain aspects of Igbo culture. I can speak Nwantiti in Igbo but I understand it perfectly fine. Anyways, I wanted to ask someone w well versed in Igbo culture whether I come from a lineage of priests. My Last name has the title “Eze” and I was wondering if it meant something of importance or just a coincidence. I should also add that my father is from Anambra (if that makes a difference or not) Thanks so much (Daalu) |

blackpinkgal:It doesn't necessary mean that you come from priest linage before you can bear such name. Sometime we give names based on an event that happened. If only you can give me your full last name then I will tell you whether it is or not. |

You are not from any priest lineage. |

It's a common surname in Igbo land. Don't attach any significance to it. |

blackpinkgal: Is your dad from Aguata? Aguata people have a lot of surnames that begin with Eze. The Eze prefix in most Aguata surnames come from the original bearer having taken a chieftaincy title. If it turns out that your dad is from Aguata, then the Eze in your name could mean nothing other than that your ancestor had a chieftaincy title. |
