Re: Igbo Names And Their Funny Direct Translations by Icon79(m): 3:35pm On Aug 04, 2017
Some of the translations were badly amiss. Let me give a few examples:

Uloma = Ogbonge house or kakarakaa house - wrong translation here.
Correction: Ulo-oma = Fine home

Emeka = dem do good - wrong translation.
Correction: Chukwuemeka = God has done well

Nwanneka = my brother pass your brother - wrong translation
Correction: Nwanne-ka = sibling is supreme

Uchenna = Him papa mind (wrong)
Correction: Uchenna/Uchechukwu = God's Will

Ebuka = you too fat (wrong)
Correction: Chukwu-ebuka = God is great

Nonso = you too near (wrong)
Correction: Chukwu-nonso = God is near

And there are more but I am running out of time.

It always has a deeper meaning.
