Hello brothers/sisters,

I've been surfing the internet and looking for a forum where I could ask a burning question. I'm glad to have found this one although I had challenges navigating it - I couldn't easily launch a new topic. Anyway I'd really appreciate it, if anyone would answer my question...

Ginbia - Is this a Tiv or Nupe name and what does it mean

a relative of mine who lived in the northern part of Nigeria in her youth, returned to the west in her twilight years. She always called my sister Ginbia (not sure if spelling correct) and not by her regular name. No one thought anything of it but we are wondering its origin.

Your feedback is most appreciated. Thanks.

Gimbia is a hausa name meaning princess.

thank you Sparrow13!! yes my sister was delicate and princesslike in her ways as a child.

Blessings
