Just curious after listening to the King of Ile ife video ( by the way Ile means tongue in Igbo and Ife means Light or Brightness in Igbo language .
Also I'm curious we are called IGBO what does it mean in Igbo Language ? Some Igbo Jewish claim it means Heebo , Hegbrew but IGBO in Yoruba actually means FOREST or Bush . when the colonia master came the South East Igbo Land is situated In a very dense Rain Forest .
Is some towns in Yoruba town actually an Igbo land ? Town like Ijebu Igbo?

DISCLAIMER : 2023 is a big no for Osibanjo ooh and south West


1. Ile
Any Yoruba person will tell you that this word means “House”. In the Igbo language, this word means “Tongue”.



2. Enu
In Igbo, enu means “Up” while in Yoruba, it refers to the Mouth.



3. Owu
Can you believe this word means the same thing in both languages? Yes, it does. Owu is both the Yoruba and Igbo word for Thread.



4. Ede
Ede is the Yoruba word for language. It is also the Igbo word for Cocoyam.



5. Olaniyi
In Igbo “Olaniyi” means “Someone that has no value, a waste!” In Yoruba is a name, not just a Name,perhaps it’s a name per excellence which means “Wealth Has Value“. But imagine what the meaning was in Igbo language, someone can’t bear Olaniyi in the east in peace �



6. Aja
Aja is found in both languages albeit with different meanings. In Igbo, Aja means Sand. But it means Dog in Yoruba.



7. Jide
It’s pretty amazing how two different tribes can have the same name for male children. Though to be fair in Igbo, this name is the short form of Jideofor.

In Yoruba, Jide is the short form of Babajide, Olajide etc. In Igbo, Jide means to hold. While in Yoruba, it can mean “has come/resurfaced”.



8. Oja
When someone says the word “oja” in Yoruba, they mean market. In Igbo, Oja is the name given to the flute.

Igbo means cannabis in yoruba

@Op you tried tho
but in igbl language there are some words that u cant tell the exact meaning unless its being differentiate with SIGNS
eg Ede.. You said it means CoCoyam which is correct.. But it also mean another thing as there is no sign to tell the exact one you are talking about
Ede also mean "to write"
Aja also mean "sacrifice"
Owu also means "Lonely"

Pls give the meaning of

(Yoruba) Ramotu -
(Igbo) Ramotu -
