American Land, 'igbo' Name by ezeagu(m): 7:56pm On Dec 31, 2009 |
Here is a short list of some American territory with Igbo sounding names, this is just for fun so you can join in , even in you're own language (except English and any Native American name obviously), in short just paste 'Nigerian' sounding towns and landmarks and give a google maps link. Here are some: Ebo Landing, Georgia (This one is confirmed Igbo BTW) http://maps.google.com/maps?&rls=en&q=ebo%20landing&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl Onycha, Alabama (apparently an incense) http://maps.google.com/maps?&rls=en&q=onycha&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl Oji Way, California (notice that it's in 'Yuba City' ) http://maps.google.com/maps?client=rls=en&q=udi&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl Ebo, Missouri (might be linked via slavery) http://maps.google.com/maps?&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl Chica, California http://maps.google.com/maps?&rls=en&q=chica&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl One for the Yoruba, although in Canada: Oba, Ontario http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&rls=en&q=ubaji&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl Obi, New York http://maps.google.com/maps?&rls=en&q=Ebo,+MO&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=Ebo,+MO&ei=jgM9S_2LFcq2jAfht4CtDQ&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CAkQ8gEwAA Post some more if you found any. . . . . |

Re: American Land, 'igbo' Name by ezeagu(m): 7:07pm On Jan 02, 2010 |
oyinda.: Because the Igbo people that were indigenous to the land that is now inhabited by 'Oduas children' were constantly terrorising and scaring these foreigners. |
Re: American Land, 'igbo' Name by MrCrackles(m): 7:46pm On Jan 02, 2010 |

Chica means little girl in spanish (california was a spanish colony) and Chattanooga is lene-lenape i believe (native american regardless) as is Onycha. most "odd" place names in the us are derived from native american names/words |
