My Name: Oyeinkeokonmutonyolamene means It's God that can take me to where He Decides.

Which language is this?

kuuljay:
not true,give me an example.dont mistake names like Ibrahim to be Arabic ibrahim means abraham

Sorry, I'm only learning. Are Arabic names not Islamic names? For some, I've been told the Islamic translations of these Christian names below:
David - Dauda
Moses - Musa
Solomon - Suleiman
Ishmael - Ismaila
Isaac - Isa
Abraham - Ibrahim, etc

Please tell me if I'm wrong

HsLBroker:
you know we ijebus are actually from jerusalem, we are then called jebusites, but after the war with isreal we migrated to egypt then there is a war btw us and egyptian then we migrated to other part of africans land before we came to ijebu land.

Wow! History upon history. There are many things unknown to us about our origins. Too bad we just have to stick only with those we can find in the books

I pray for these hunters. God be with them. To me, they're equally soldiers cos it's a life and death affair

Lmao! But this guy is not as funny as he appears sha. Come go marry wife wey tall pass am

bigfrancis21:
Instead they would want to have you believe Hebrew adopted it from Yoruba instead.

Abi? the same way some claim Brazilians have Yoruba origin

HsLBroker:
My name for instance is Adeniyi meaning the crown with value, Rabiu or Rabbi my surname means Teacher

Mabadeje my compond name: Don't strip the crown.

Kehinde means the one that came last as in twins

Taiwo, Taiye or Tayewo means the one that came to taste the world

My mother use to tell me that i was the one that sent my second taiwo to come and taste the world, that i was the senior then we are very young, but anytime i remind my twins brother this, we would fight throughout that day, i later gave up and accept to be the junior so there will be peace

Funny
So Rabiu means Rabbi (teacher). Yoruba must have adopted it from Hebrew

nerodenero:
I could be wrong but it seems Hausa have fewer native names. The names they bear are mostly Islamic names.

That has got mean wondering too. Even their Christians bear Muslim names

JoeCutie:
Oya wetin be your own name?

My real name is Chigozie

sexyjennik:
Oghene is God and it's mostly attached to so many names that's why it's so popular. Yes they do

Ok, thanks

Se7vendayz:
Chi is not necessarily the same with 'chineke or chukwu'' and Onyinye will mean gift not God's gift unless the name is incomplete

Chi > god
Chukwu > Almighty God
Chineke > The Creator/God

You're right about Onyinye though. I should have said 'Onyinyechi'

JoeCutie:
Onwuka?!!!

Is that your name?

God forbid! If my papa give me that name I go use my hand change am quick quick

Oildichotomy:
What of Obumneke?

No mind dem. Na the same thing

Oildichotomy:
I have always wondered the meaning of that name!

My daughter should bear that! I just love the name and the way it sounds - Three words/ Two syllables!
Nice!

Sorry to ask, if u didn't know the meaning it means ur not from Isoko. Is it right giving ur daughter a name from another dialect?

JoeCutie:
Okay, that literary means "Am I the creator"

I swear, I don't like Igbo names that sound like one is asking questions. Just as I don't like Onwuka
