Okosisi (Oke Osisi) literally means means big tree. However the word oke is used to describe anything that is extra-ordinary (in size, power, ability, etc) while Osisi is tree.

There several trees worshipped and revered by our fore fathers in Igbo land these are the okosisis

Ngwu(so many families are named after this one), Anunuebe (this is said to so powerful that any bird that perches on it dies instanta), Offor (goes with a virtuous so that no harm befalls him), to mention but a few.
