When you hear catchy names like Igho, Oke, Marho, and Onome, the first question that comes to mind is what ethnic group those names belong to.
This is an article dedicated to all those searching for Urhobo baby girl names for Omote, who has just become a member of their family.

Before we further share some of the fantastic name options here, it is only fair to look at the Urhobo people as an ethnic group in southern Nigeria.
The Urhobo are the majority ethnic group in the Delta state of Nigeria, and they are famous for their native attire of wrappers, tops, hats, and walking sticks.
Also famous is their delicious Banga soup and starch and their yam and goat meat pepper soup.
The Urhobo are careful about choosing a name for their child because the ancestors have passed down the belief that a child’s name is tied to their destiny.
In Urhobo culture, Oghene is the supreme God, while the Erivwin represents the ancestral cult or the cult of the forefathers.
These factors, as well as the spirit and body (Erhi and Ugboma), are believed to make a man and his existence; thus, they must be considered when naming a child.
Most Urhobo baby girl names include circumstances of birth, divine promise, hope, wealth, color, weather, place of birth, market days, parent’s religious belief, and sometimes natural resources.
