Please, what's the meaning of Asamijoko, I think it's an Isoko name.

fratermathy:


If we are talking about the worst type of English names, turn your eyes towards Ijaw. Ijaw people dey answer anything, I swear. Urhobo funny English name dey learn for Ijaw one.

You see Ijaws answering names like Pepper, Pepple, Goldwater, Heneiken, Wine, etc. These are not even their native names yet o!

Urhobos by far dwarf the Ijaws in funny native names though.



There is also one funny Igbo name I came across one time but I don't know if I remember it correctly:

Azubuike (back is front?). Am I right?

Azubuike: I have strong backing/support. Beautiful name acknowledging family or friends

Since you understand Urhobo very well. Say it in Urhobo that Jesus Christ dont kill father(Reverend Father) and tell me how what i wrote is wrong.

Truth is,you have not heard all names in this life.

He quoted Fratermathy, you replied with Hungerbad.

Esi: pig
Eba: garri(food) my junior boy in school suffered for this name

YoungBrain:
mosebolatan
(I am not yoruba but this weird "I don do Bola finish" was my interpretation)

This means " I thought wealth has finished"

Eke40seven:

Lol..

Azubuike means, "Strength lies in the back" more like an anatomical explaination. I don't know if there is a deeper meaning to it though.

Azu names are usually misunderstood by many these days. Azu means back. Metaphorically it means backers.

Azubuike - my backer(s) (God, family, friends, relatives who are backing /supporting me) is my strength.

Same etymology as Azuka: usually short for Azukaego - Having backers/family/people who support or fight for you is better/more superior/powerful (than having money, in the case of Azukaego).

aniomafirstson:
lol

otofe means greetings in ukwuani

I repeat, 'Otofe' is a praise name used only to greet a married woman in Anioma, and it means 'ote ofe' or 'cooker of soup'. (The Anioma love soup so much, and cherish a woman who can cook it.)

The reason the 'e' in 'ote ofe' becomes swallowed when written is that the Igbo linguistic principle of Olilo Udaume is applied. It is like greeting someone with the words, 'Chairman!'

The greeting for married men is 'Ejeh'.
