I will be sharing the meaning of names on this thread. Feel free to contribute.

An igbo name meaning "One born on an afor market day". Another meaning is "Okey" "afor" which means rat born on a market day. Further clarity on the meaning of published names will be appreciated.

'Okey' does not mean 'rat born on a market day' it is the short form of 'Okechukwuyerem' which means 'God's share to me'
