igbodefender: Bro, I think you misunderstood the Agwoturumbe name. The full name is Agwoturumbe turu okpokoro meaning a snake that bites a tortoise bites only shell. Another variant of the name is Agwoturumbe na emebi onu ya meaning the snake that bites a tortoise damages its mouth (apparently because of the shell). The praise actually is for the tortoise not the snake. 3 Likes |

Eke40seven: Yes, there is a deeper meaning. The back refers to siblings that are coming.. The name is usually giving by those who desires more children. Other variations of the name are "Azubuogor"(siblings are a gain) and Azudinma (Good/blessed to have many siblings). The last one is usually given to children that have many siblings already, so they are considered lucky. |
