Please can anyone help me with the name: Urhobo meaning of AKPOHWOFADAYEN?

Urhobo girls name - help with the meaning of this name in full? and also help with the short/parts, their refer to...?

Akpohwofadayen
Akpoh and/or Akpohwo
fadayen

I know AKPO refers to life / world...but cannot find any reference/link/meaning or explanation to the rest of the name...

i seem to find info of the name in parts like AKPO = life/world then OHWO = roughly/loosely means kind of 'provides' but nothing for FADAYEN at all!!

I was told once that the significance of the name means in urhobo something like 'the world is jealous of you'? but that is not it literal translation

Urhobo language can cross sometimes and I was wondering if this name is known to you or its similar version and what it means please?

many thanks

I am getting the impression from the Efik names here that Anie in Efik is cognate with Onye in Igbo.

"Anie" means "who"

Yes, I could tell from the names. Onye means the same in Igbo. Onyema (who knows). Onyeka (who is greater). Onyedikachi (who is like God.)
