JoeCutie:
The Op says "Nigerian Native Names", and not " Jaw-breaking Greek Native Names".

CHM11:

Yoruba:

Ade, Oba, Akin, Oye, Oba are all indicatives of native aristocracy (nobility).

sanc2s:
Ugochukwu means Gods pride. Not Gods grace. God's grace is Ebere Chukwu- Gods grace or Gods mercy

is amarachukwu

Falila is a shorten form of Falilat and ketan means to have bow leg. Joined together we have Falila have bow legs

Lol

[ :Dquote author=LovelyLilac post=31538615] Please what do these names mean:
Obukhome, Igbunu, Uyoyo, Oghenecaro, oghenemena, oghale. Obaro, okeoghene, oghenevwede, oghenemero, akpobome, ojevwe, omosefe, ejoke, ovwo, voke...
Are they all Urhobo or are the both Isoko and Urhobo names.

are u an urhobo?btw am isoko !uyoyou-love,oghenekaro-God first,oghenemena-my God,oghale-blessing,okeoghene-gift of God,oghenewevde-God's own day,obaro-progress or success, omoefe-child is wealth,ovoke,everyone with his time or destiny,orezi-my beloveth or desire,olezi-psalms, odomero-its eneough for me,enifome-what befits me,elo-bright,eloho-loftiness,onoriode-who knws tomorrow,orobo oghene-is in Gods hand,othuke-my helper,oruaro oghene-glory of God,aruoriwho-grace,orhowo-faith,emamuzou-good destiny igbunu-miracle
etc

Rounds of applause for this wonderful explanation. what is Othuke in Igbo? since it's my helper, my pillar and my back what can it translated to an Igbo name?

Anyway - again...please can anyone shed some light on the name and Urhobo meaning of AKPOHWOFADAYEN?

I know AKPO refers to life / world...but cannot find any reference/link/meaning or explanation to the rest of the name...

i seem to find info of the name in parts like AKPO = life/world then OHWO = roughly/loosely means kind of 'provides' but nothing for FADAYEN at all!!

I was told once that the significance of the name means something like 'the world is jealous of you'? but that is not it literal translation

can anyone help
