20 contemporary Ibibio Names And Their Meanings by Willgates(m): 12:39am On Nov 16, 2013 |
I don't know how best to begin this thread but I guess I'll just begin it anyway. But hey! before I start, some people especially in the western region tend to mistake Akwa Ibom for Calabar, Ibibio for efik.(see why history /geography is vital? ). Funny enough, they refer to every part of cross-river and Akwa-ibom state as "Calabar" lmao... Now Akwa ibom is a state carved out of Cross River state (Capital- calabar) with Uyo as It's capital and Ibibio as her major language. Understood? Let's get down to the biz of the night. Below are some Ibibio names and their meanings. I call them the 21st century names lol (you can substitute the "obong" for "Abasi" it'll still mean the same thing -God) 1) Imaobong- God's love 2) Eno-obong- God's gift 3) Ndifreke-obong- I'll never forget God 4) Uyai - beauty 5) Inemesit (Inem for short)- Happiness 6) Idara- Joy Edidiong- blessing 9) Idoreyin -hope. 10) Oto-obong-from God 11) Emem-obong- God's peace 12) mfon-obong- God's favor 13) Itoro-obong-God's praise 14) Ini-obong- God's time 15)ekom-obong- thank God 16) Ime -patience 17) Nfoniso- Goodluck 18) Adiaha (more like a title)- first daughter 19)Udeme- my share 20) Idongesit-consolation I tried! you can add the ones you want to know the meaning and I'll tell you ASAP. oya leggo! 1 Like |
