It's not really possible on nairaland. I want to believe you suspect it might be identical to that of igbos, remember ukwani(igboid) are a neighbouring tribe so sounding alike might be no coincidence as it might have been borrowed from either tribes.

Isoko really did assimilate Igbo components.
Igbide people are from Awka and Mgbidi in South East.
So there is bound to be Igbo influence. Additionally, you live close to Igbo speaking Ukwuani/Ndokwa.

You should know what homograph means.... one of two or more words spelled alike but different in meaning or derivation or pronunciation.
