Igbo Surname Ideas Please!!!! by Nobody: 4:23pm On Aug 04, 2017 |
I was given the name Ifeanyi during my naming ceremony and was also told I was a member of the royal family. I was told that everyone has a different last name to keep their ancestors going. What would be a nice surname to add on to it? |

Jcolston89: Ofo = Staff of truth Jideofo = Hold the staff of truth Obiajulu = Mind is at peace Obiora = Heart of the people What principles, phrase etc do you want to guide you and your family, on your life's journey? If you can tell us, then we can suggest names that mean the same or similar. That is how naming is done in our culture. 2 Likes |

Jcolston89: Some one already suggested Obialuije which is a very good name. Obialuije means some who is on a journey (i.e. one with a purpose on earth). Nwafo = Son of the soil Nzeribe Ezeribe Ezenwa = boy/girl King Do not consider Udene. Udene = Vulture 2 Likes |

Phut: Obialuije sounds really nice |

Phut: I'm looking for something that defines compassion, humility, determination and strength. I'm part of the Nnama royal family but I wouldn't necessarily attach the name to me. |
