Ikpeazu can means AT LAST or UNFAIR JUDGEMENT ....judging people at the back..like AKAAZU....meaning CORRUPTION. SO ONLY THE PARENT CAN TELL BASED ON THE SITUATION THAT WARRANT SUCH NAME but its likely a name of sorrow like UNFAIR JUDGEMENT |

Abagworo: The two are right depending on how you pronounce it. it can mean 'the last one' or 'wrong judgement' |
Re: Meaning Of Names Of 7 Igbo Governors, S/east, South by B2mario(m): 3:28pm On Sep 15, 2016 |
Afonjas: Ikpeazu also mean 'wrong judgement'. Azu can literally mean bad/wrong in some Igbo dialect. eg: i. O na ekpe ikeazu(false judgment) ii. O na eme akazu(not straight forward) |

Abagworo:pls when you know nothing about a topic always try to subdue the urge of passing the wrong message to avoid confusing people. Igbo language is a tonal language which unlike english language requires one to know the correct tones associated with each vowel sound in other to know the meaning of a word. Words like akwa and oke have four meanings depending on the tonal sounds used. That is why we have tonal signs, that is also why pple insist their names are pronouced correctly to make the meaning obvious. Its is almost impossible to have a word with a particular tonal sound having two meanings except its a slang. Using music signs 'ugwu' can have three meanings thus: Ugwu /d/gw/d/ = dignity Ugwu /m/gw/d/ = circumcision Ugwu /m/gw/m/ = hill the last one 'hill' is a popular surname in Enugu especially Nsukka area. Ugwuanyi is correctly pronouced Ugwuanyi /m/gw/m/ /r/ny/r/ which means our hill. Saying it could mean dignity shows you dont know the pronunciation again, Ikpeazu is correctly pronouced thus: Ikpeazu /d/kp/d/ /d/z/r/ which means last child, last born or last person. The one that means "the end" and "back judgement" come with other sounds. 4 Likes 1 Share |
