Re: Igbo Names And Their Funny Direct Translations by Nobody: 3:24pm On Aug 04, 2017
Lol

But names like ebuka, nonso, emeka are just short forms. When you put chukwu in front of them the proper meanings surface.

Re: Igbo Names And Their Funny Direct Translations by nonxo007(m):
This is mostly trash, the names aren't complete... Eg. Emeka is actually chukwuemeka or nnaemeka which means God has done well or father has done well
Nonso is actually chukwunonso which implies God is near....stop misinterpreting my Nobel language and get your meaning correct

I know you are trying to have fun but I had better correct some to avoid "had i know" in the future.

Ebuka short form of Chukwuebuka = God is great / God is the greatest
Nonso short form Chukwunonso = God is near / God is closeby
Emeka short form of Chukwuemeka (God has done well/good) /Nnaemeka (in this case Nna signifies God the father)
Ogonna = father's favor.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong
Re: Igbo Names And Their Funny Direct Translations by BabaRamotu1988: 3:26pm On Aug 04, 2017

ebuka is the short cut of chukwuebuka
