thanks for your time bro but you see the word "Edo" came into used generally by the binis due the love shown on prince Ogun before becoming the Oba Ewuare 1 we all know about. so the love shown is what we agree to be the meaning of the word "Edo". but I will agree with you that the name have been used b4 that great act of love was shown. Best way to explain this is for to observe most English or Hebrew names in the Bible you will see that their names meaning is derive from what they did or the great event that took place with the person.


for Ayo it is infinity or let me say to fullness e.g na mie ke na mue ne ni wina sa yo I.e in order to see the work to the fullness.

for that of love, it is commonly called "Awemwonmwan, but you have to understand that in Benin for instance we have the ancient ( Edo nede) and the present day mix Benin.

for that of Michael Owen I can't really say how he got his name but in Benin sun is Oven or Owen.

satisfaction, self believe

you will understand better if you can read Edo language but if you don't , it means "I am satisfied/grateful/happy with you have done for me"
