What Do You Think Is The Most Famous Name In Your Tribe. by GBOLAGBURUGBURU(m): 11:22am On May 04, 2021
What do you think is the most famous masculine and feminine name in your ethnic group. Or other ethnic group if you may.

Well I'm Igbo so I think
Emeka for males
Chioma or Chidinma for female.

Then if I am permitted for Yorubas I think Femi and Funke.

Whilst Hausa I am guessing Musa.

CHUKWU or CHI precedes many names in igbo.

In Ogoni tribe, Rivers. I think the most popular name is Mensua...... meaning who knows tomorrow.


MensuayeBari....... Only God knows tomorrow.


Just like the igbos, Bari precedes most names in Ogoni.
Bari means God.

Boredom o

Naaa Emeka is by farrr the most common Igbo name.
Followed by Ebuka then maybe Ifeanyi. Obi is not as common. Dede is more like a hailing name used mostly in imo/Abia state. Nobody else uses Dede outside those places.
