Anyway - again...please can anyone shed some light on the name and urhobo meaning of AKPOHWOFADAYEN?

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 something like 'the world is jealous of you'? but that is not it literal translation

can anyone helphuh[/quote]

It has a traditional meaning.

Anyway that's my traditional name.

Is Obukohwo, not Obukokwokwo.
