Before I begin, this post isn't meant to spite any individual or group. It's only meant to showcase funny translations of names and words from other tribes to Igbo. Don't take it to heart.

Please don't ever ask for the interpretation of your name in Igbo language because you might not like it (NwaAmaikpe, 2017).
