Ibrahimlagosian:
Ok,i guess i admit you're right but this are the names we hausa people use.most traditional names in hausa are affiliated or from a particular ethnic group but here are some hausa traditional names i know;
Idi
Garba
Faruk
Babangida
For the females,we have;
Umaima
Maijidda

Hausa-Fulani tribe has lost their traditional and aboriginal identity to Islam belief. Most names you mentioned are Islamic names.

How do you say “my God will not fail”?

God is too faithful.

DarkJeddi:
⁷ These are Muslim names,not Hausa names..

oga, it is said that tribe names, I'm a Nupe man, so I'm less concerned with what you mean to pass to me.

For the ibos, I think Emeka and Ngozi are the two most popular names for the male and female gender. However, Uche might overshadow both names since it is a unisex name. I probably know more people bearing Uche than either Emeka or Ngozi.

Yep.

They are Arabic Muslim names Oga or are you arguing with that?

Non of the names you listed are TRIBAL Hausa or Nupe names..

Did you see any other,naming non Tribal names?

I no get time for arguments abeg.

Figure out the tribe.

Tunde, Femi, kemi, yemi, wale, yinka, titi, funmi, Sade, kunle, bukola, jide are the most common yoruba names .

Onewazobia:


Rather Ola
Oluwa
Ife
Etc

Ola, oluwa, olu, ife are not full names

Eg oladapo, oluwafemi, ifedapo, olawale, oluwole, oluwakemi, oluwafumilayo etc

haffaze777:
Ola

Ola is not a full name. No yoruba parents will ever just name their children OLA......

Okay. Thanks

For an Ibibio man I think that Ubong (for males) and Enobong (for females) are two of the most popular names. But then it may be disputable.

What about your tribe?

Ubong means honor

Enobong means gift

Ubong in ibibio does not mean honour! It means rulership of God. Or God's rulership. Ubong-abasi is the full name. Enobong- or Eno-abasi means Gift from God of God's gift. Most Ibibio names are attached with the suffix obong or abasi meaning God. Enobong, Enoabasi,Uduakobong Uduakabasi,Imeobong,Imeabasi,Udemeobong, Udemeabasi, Mfonobong,Mfonabasi,Iboro-obong,Iboro-abasi Eno-gift, Uduak-will, Ime-patience,Udeme-share , Mfon-grace,Iboro-answers to prayers. It is generally believed that Children are gifts from God. Hence many families especially in the 60's, 70's and 80's give their kids native names with obong or abasi in tow.
