I met a lot of warri girls on Facebook and some of them do bear Igbo names, and it’s also the same meaning as Igbo name too.

Maybe the name has significance in their own language?

maybe they are not really warri, warri, maybe they are those bilingual urhobo and
Isoko. As for Urhobo ( orogun/kwale) who came to reside in warri. Urhobos have a penchant for claiming warri even though majority are not from there but in this case may reside there

I doubt the Warri girls with Igbo names you met are Warri indigenes. Possibly non-indigenes born and raised in Warri.

"Ngozi Opone" , the name in the screenshot you attached to the post, definitely belongs to an Ukwuani/Ndokwa person, judging by the surname, Opone.

Hi there, please help if you can.

The name AKPOHWOFADAYEN is apparently san Urhobo name however I know that Urhobo (including Isoko) that The Edo, Itsekiri, Kwale, Ika Igbo and Ijaw share kinship and language. So i was wondering if you know the meaning?
