Hello people,

I was curious, just wanted to know the origin of this name. I've noticed that all tribes bear the this, so anyone who knows can educate us.

Thank you!

I'm interested in knowing myself

its a latin name for "handsome"

Some say it's Spanish

Bello is fulani name,the correct pronounciation is Ballo and it means helper.

The name is of English origin.

It means "Bell" that is "Low" tone in English

Bello..from the Latin word "belus" ie beautiful, handsome...oga it's not a Fulani name o.. don't localize the name

I am sure Usman Dan Fodio did not speak Latin in the 19th century, yet his son was called Muhammadu Bello. Let's agree that the Latin Bello and the Fulani Bello are different words that by coincidence happen to look similar.

OK den

All tribes call their father papa.. watz d origin?
Your question is same as someone asking why the sky is blue..

Curious

@op for your info, not all tribes bear Bello as the easterners don't bears such name. The name emanated from Ilorin where we have the Yorubas, Fulanis and the Hausas cohabitating and they have to share so many names such as Giwa, Bello etc

You people should be asking bellos' father not us

Interesting

Wow! Thought it was a Foolanii name.

The name originated from the yorubas in the olden days,

It was actually coined out from an incidence that happened between a wife and a husband,

During argument between the husband and the wife, the following argument ensue.

The husband gave the wife a bam to the wife to help use to rub the body, but fortunately, it fell down from the husband, so the wife was telling the husband to pick it up,

But the husband disagreed and told the wife to bend down and use it.

Which means "Béré kó ló" in Yoruba (bend down and use it)

So from there they coined out "Bello from it




























Believe that write up at your own peril

Bello is an Italian, Spanish surname from bello 'handsome/beautiful' (Late
Latin bellus), hence a nickname for a handsome man. In medieval Italy
the word was also applied as a personal name, which also gave rise to
the surname.
