'Ukpabi' is an archaic Aro name that refers to the Ibini Ukpabi oracle at Arochukwu. People answered 'Ukpabi' just like how people answer[ed] 'Kalu'/'Kanu' in reverence of arunsi Kamalu (the equivalent of Amadioha in most of what is now Abia State) and 'Ojukwu' in reverence of Ojukwu of Diobu. Nowadays, it's mostly seen as a surname.
