Naming In Urhobo Culture: Meanings And Significance by Nobody: 6:55pm On Mar 20, 2015 |
Every Urhobo name given to a child has a meaning attached to it. The Urhobo believe that a child lives up to the meaning of the name that she or he bears. For instance, there is a general belief that if a ‘thief’ is the name of a child, that child may grow up to be a ‘rogue.’ If, on the other hand, your child is given a name that suggests a ‘rich person,’ there is the belief that such a child invariably grows up to be a wealthy individual. Urhobo parents are therefore very careful of the names they give to their children. Source: http://thepointernewsonline.com/?p=14023 If you are an Urhobo or know any Urhobo names, feel free to add it together with the meaning or if you want to know the meaning of any Urhobo name, just paste it for translation. 18 Likes 1 Share |

The Urhobo are a very republican people. They work very hard to acquire wealth and fame in an old-fashioned way. Your wealth is as good as its source. Urhobo will investigate the source of your wealth. If it is suspect, you stand to lose your respect, dignity and fame. A good number of Urhobo names have to do with wealth and money.
