What part of the world and tribe are you what is your native name?Can we discuss the meaning and how it affects your life?I mean has your native name has a negative or positive impact on your life.
-Was there a reason you were given this name?A story behind it?
I am one of those people with a unique native name and the meaning chases me up and down like a broom waiting to flog me if i sit down...
My unique native name was given when my parents lived in a shared compound.I was born into rivalry among neighbours who were using their kids to fight.....According to what i heard,the other people birthed a light skinned girl child and all before me by my parents were as black as night and they used it to taunt them,I arrived with the brightness of the sun,and even lighter than the neighbor's child...
Daddy mi allegedly looked up to God and said to his neighbour in a boastful way ''The other one did it,is it me that cannot do it?If you can do it,i can do it even better'' thus my name was birthed...Odeko'ru'kome?...My name is pronounced with a question mark..if you know Isoko very well,you will understand the name after reading the story...
So my name impacts on my positively but pressure on me Sometimes because it controls me...I always ask myself ''Odeko'ru'kome?''
I always wanna be the best (not the first),always wanna stand out,always wanna be loud...........
LOL
Chinonso meaning God is near/close.
ReplyDeleteMy mom said she had always loved that name and vowed to give it to her child either boy or girl.
So far, so good, God has always been close to me. Whenever I need anything, just one call and he answers.
I Thought CHUKWUNONSO means God is Near?
Deletei so much love that name ehn
ADAORA
DeleteMeaning daughter for all
Two names I so love is sopuluchukwu and Ujunwa/Obianuju. My husband never allowed me to name any of our children, but he allowed his mother. Very wicked and mean man. All the ujus and sopulu's I've met are awesome but often fat��.
DeleteMy don't like my name at all 'ndidi', I usually go by my English name though...
Mine is Atinuke which means a child pampered right from the womb.
DeleteWow @anon, i love those names too.Obiageli/ujunwa/obianuju almost mean the same thing.I have never seen a poor obiageli(means came to eat/enjoy).They also tend to marry well.The uju's i've seen are not all fat,but yes they also tend to never lack and they are very generous.though Obiageli is getting outdated to me.
DeleteMy name if kenechukwu(praise the Lord).God has really been very good to me.I am always in the mood of praise
Mine is inyegbarima...
DeleteMeaning that which is mine would never pass me by😘😘😘
So far so good... God has been great and my name is always working for me...
I hardly stress over things... If it's mine, it will come😍
I was born 5 years after my elder sis so I have a lot of native names.
DeleteOgechukwukamma- God's time is the best.
Ozichi- God's message.
Sopuruchukwu- let's praise God or praise God.
Kasarachi- I don't know how to translate this one😊
My name's follow me,I don't do what others are doing.and things take time before happening to me.but I have never known lack just that my blessings take time to happen.😊
Awwwwww that's a great compliment for the name Obianuju,on behalf of Obianujus, I say thank you guys😍😍..
DeleteMy native name is "Eloho " I don't like being called by that name at all.Ever since i stopped answering that name and stuck to my other name,things took a positive turn in my life.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the meaning
DeleteEloho is a beautiful name my isoko sister,I love native names proudly isoko,I rock my name anyhow..ehomazino is mine
DeleteWhy don't you like the name? Na wa, at least Stella's name is a bit of a mouthful. But Eloho is such a nice name, na wa sha!!? Different strokes for different folks
DeleteWhat I love that name..In fact I wanted to give myself the name Eloho and Kevwe. I love those names like crazy
DeleteEloho is a lovely name nau my isoko sis. My cousin bears the name.
DeleteWhat's the meaning
DeleteIt means "soft" but mine is spelt like this "ENOVWO" but pronounced as "ELOHO",confusing right?That's why i don't like it
DeleteMine was ORIE...my classmates no gree me rest.After wedding, threw the name to the evil forest!!!My dad never gave us English names,just primitive native names.
ReplyDeleteMgbe Orie. Hahaha 😂😂😂
DeleteI m sorry you think your name is primitive. I live in the UK. I have an English name but I go by my Igbo name. its ifeyinwa. it makes me stand out and means wealth cannot compare with a child. that is one of the fundamental beliefs of my people and my mothers name as well. I love it
DeleteIts not primitive please. I have an English name but I hardly use it except when I fill forms..When people had difficulty pronouncing my name, I will take my time teach you..Even me forget that I bear my english name
DeleteI love my native name die!!!
DeleteIt drives me even when I want to give up. My mum told me why she called me so and it's amazing. When I am faced with challenge, when things seems difficult and impossible, right from inside of me, I recall my name and usually, a strange burst of oxygen, energy and fierceness possesses me. I have an English name (my dad's ex-girlfriend's name- never trust men, even the holiest can fall in love and may never fall out of it) and use for professional/official reasons only. My true identity lies in my name and heritage. Native names are deep, rich and lovely. My kids, have both but deliberately, the native names override so they dont forget their root and source.
She looks like her name.mgbeke orie d trouble maker
Delete😜😛🤓🙄😃😃😘

Your dad sha 😂🤣🤣
DeleteWhy do you call my name Native?
DeleteYou ask for my name, I say Chidi
Then you ask me,
What is your English name?
Why do I need an English name?
I don't hear Simon being asked for his "Native" name?
My name is who I am,
A reflection of my ancestry,
A representation of my birth journey
And now my timeless reality,
An endless journey of my creator showing up again and again
I don't need you to shorten it,
For then you take away it's meaning.
It needs no addition, explanation or clarification
It simply is.
My name is Chidi,
It's not native,
It's not indigenous
It's not substandard
A middle name is not required
Why?
Because it's my name
My name is Chidi
What's yours?
By CHIDI KOLDSWEAT
@Elegant,I should be answering "market" as a name,it almost ruined my self esteem while in school cos people made jokes with it,difficult to pronounce too.Abeg I dash una the name.
Delete*@Phoenix and co I meant and not Elegant
Delete@15:02...don't be deceived by my dp,lol.
DeleteYou see,you are one of those that made me hate that name.
Nezz, no native names are not primitive. They are sweet, rich and unique! Often more meaningful to you and your story than any foreign name.
DeleteAnyone who knows me by only my English name is not my FRIEND. My friends call me by my native name. Even official and financial/property documents all carry my full names with the native name coming first.
ORIE, You choose the market your name is. It could be the digital market. Wall Street is a market just so you know...
The way I love native names eeh, I'm just sure none of my kids will get any foreign name from me.
ReplyDeleteI love them too
DeleteMy native name is Ogechukwu and the story behind my name is that my parents waited for three years before having me and that's how my name came along...
ReplyDeleteOgechukwu means God's time and indeed God's time is the best ( Ogechukwukanma)
That my native name 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
DeleteThat's my native name 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
DeleteOgechukwu yeah Great name
DeleteMy name is Ogechukwukama,my father wanted more male children but had me after my only brother so he resigned his faith to God.My father died a year ago and before passing he told me I was worth more than ten sons.
Delete@Ogeamaka Wow your father has blessed you..Worth more than 10 sons..Ehugs dear May his soul rest in peace
DeleteStella so we can call "kome" for short.
ReplyDeleteWell the meaning of my name is gift from God.

DeleteWow! I love this post..there's no reason behind my native name! The name is good and it's been working for me💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
ReplyDeleteIt means more than enough God🙏🙏
What's your native name 😁😁😁
DeleteMine means "good health is better than wealth"
DeleteIn my family, all the children are given just one name. Your Father's name is your other name and the family's name is your surname.
ReplyDeleteI gave myself one native name sha and the name is INYENE-ABASI which means God's possession. I gave myself that name out of the understanding that I am not made for myself, i am made for God, to bring praise, glory and honour to Him. I am God's own. Though I've not made it official but I hope to do so soonest. The day I wanted to choose the name, it was my parents who helped in translating it into our language.
This is nice 👌
DeleteI correctly guessed you were an Akwa-ibomite after reading your first paragraph. I wonder why our people adopted that naming style. I equally gave myself a native name (IMAOBONG) as i didn't enjoy the one given to my by my maternal grandma.
DeleteIMAOBONG means GOD'S LOVE but my parents refused me making it official & insisted i used the other one (EKAETTE)
@Ron, you guessed right, I am an akwa ibomite😀.. I wonder too. My Dad refused me answering another name too at first but now he has accepted.
DeleteSee my son's God mother...o @ Ron, been looking for you.long time.
DeleteBeen on this table since my right hand could cross over my head to touch my left ear.
Delete°I was raised in the West where a child had two names but I had just 1,my Grandfather's name as the surname and my fathers name as other name 😭😭😭.
°When it was time to register junior WAEC I gave my self an English name by force, name - PROMISE.
°Luck didn't smile on me as the school called all parents to confirm the names given before final submission to whoever and my dad did the usual (beatings) after he casted me, them no gree me rest for school oooh as people talk sey at this age I don't know my name, it is well.
°Got admitted into UNIUYO, then I realised the pattern of naming was a norm there, I gradually accepted myself, still in this same school I neva hear person bear my name before all through my registration.
° One faithful night class like that in year 2, a colleague called my name to collect something,I responded to him and that was it.
°Few mins later a lady walked up to me and asked if the name I was called was my real name because she is my namesake and that's the first time she saw someone bear same name.
°After how many years, I felt I wasn't an alien 👾 Sha, even Facebook I searched then I no see the name, God come present me with one just like that, I fell in love ❤️❤️ with my name for the 1st time 😍😍.
°Thank you EKEMFON-ABASI💓💓💓💓.
My kids have 2 native names, and one English name, minus the names their grandparents named them. Hubby and I are not from the same tribe. He's Akwa Ibom, while I'm Igbo.
DeleteI don't believe in names having any impact on your life.
ReplyDeleteThat's my personal opinion
hahaha no wonder, the joy there is meaningle.s. I come in peace
DeleteOkpo, Joy isn't a native name.

DeleteI am Igbo and my name is Nonye which means God abides in me..And that name has open countless doors I can't begin to describe here..Even my dad and mum are marvelled at how I get thing right at first attempt effortlessly..To think my dad wanted to give me a very funny name- Onukwuwa lolzz

DeleteMy native name(igbo) is ONYEKACHUKWU, meaning who is greater than God? God always shows himself to be the greatest in my life, like I could make a mistake and he automatically turns it into something beautiful. Couldn't have asked for a better name used to be taunted while growing up cos people told me it was a male's name. Dear God, may you always be the greatest in my life for the rest of my days, amen 🙏
ReplyDeleteMy namesake...my mum said she named me after Onyeka Onwenu, that she was the one reigning then. So she liked the name because of her
Delete@Rainbow same with my sister and my mama shared same reason..Wow

I love Itsekiri name because it has a mix of popular yoruba names
DeleteThis is the same as Ajoke! Igba means 100’s or 1,000’s. Itshekiri are lost Yoruba’s no doubt. Their names are Yoruba names with delta accent. Lol
DeleteLovely name 😍
DeleteI'm from the Esan tribe and my native name is Enorediaomo meaning "the one that came to stay is child"
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I was given that name cus I'm not a twin neither did any child die directly before me (as far as I know). I don't even know if it has any impact in my life

My native name is Abosede from the Afemai tribe of Edo state.
ReplyDeleteIt literally means born on Sunday and yes It has impacted in my life positively. I no dey use church matter play. From a very young age I was so much interested in anything that will aid my growth spiritually. And till date I'm proud to tell anyone who cares to listen that I'm a Sunday baby
Are you Akoko Edo? Nice
DeleteAbosede is Yoruba. It’s not an Afemai name. Yes, it means born on Sunday. It’s my name as well.
Delete@phoenix nahhhh, I'm from owan
Delete@Anon I suspected something like this would come up. You see in my part of Edo we bear names that many would tag 'yoruba' but then that's our native name. Abosede is just one of such. I myself was unaware of the similarities till We moved to Lagos. I hope this clears it up a bit. Thanks
It’s purely a Yoruba name. It means born at the end of the week, which is Sunday. Abi- born ni ose de-when the week came to an end or Sunday. It’s just the Yoruba influences in the area. I know people who are Edo that bear Omolola and evening Tunde.
DeleteAlright....
DeleteMy native name Imade(I did not enter this world by mistake/I have a purpose in life). Only my dad actually call me that name. I love the name and I always put it at the back of my mind when I step out to do hard task. It’s like a morale boost or something.
ReplyDeleteInteresting
DeleteAaaaah I like this name
DeleteIt is a beautiful name.
DeleteMelancholy
🙂🙂🙂
DeleteBeautiful name
DeleteAll my names are native.
ReplyDeleteTwo of my names which means 'Life is wealth' were given because of an ish that happened while my mum was pregnant with me.
I try to calm myself with them. Try to remind myself daily that I might not have what I think I should but I do have life and 'life is wealth'.
I believe in names.. Names can impact on you positively or negatively... Some names are attached to diety, events and happenings at the time of birth.....
ReplyDeletePeople compliments my name and I like it.... I think it was given to me because I'm the last child out of plenty children...
It has impacted me positively...
My native name means "the first daughter" more of a title than a name. My other name means "the right path!"
ReplyDeleteAda Ada, beautiful name😘😘.
DeleteWow Ada beautiful
DeleteThere's no reason behind my native name, I love it too.
ReplyDeleteThere is no reason behind my native name.

ReplyDeletemy maternal grandmum gave birth to just my mum and my mum gave birth to 2 girls(my elder sisters) both her and grandma were worried if she would ever bear a male child and then i was conceived because they both never gave up or lost confidence in God.

DeleteI don't have any foreign name, in fact all of the names given to me were out of the cirmustances surrounding my conception,the pregnancy and birth, because they found it difficult to conceive. When they finally did, the doctors adviced them to take it out as the baby wouldn't surive and if the bady did, the baby will be deformed ( here I am complete, nothing missing, nothing broken) obviously they went against the advice. I was born prematurely, the smallest preterm baby born that day and doctors were certain I wasn't going to survive this,but my mas faith was still up, God did his work.Glory to God!
ReplyDeleteMy first name means God has speared my life ( does it affect me, oh yes it does! I can't name how many times I have thrived in unfavorable circumstances. One time a complete stranger was amazed at how I escaped, when the person heard my name, she was like I see why now.
The another meanings the power of God made manifest, there is one that means pushed forth into the existence. Another, triumphant warrior. My names have been the testimony of my life
Your name is Testimony!!
