Okonkwo

Okonkwo is a masculine name of African origin, specifically belonging to the Igbo language in western Africa. This delightfully rhythmic choice means “boy (born on) Nkwo,” with Nkwo being one of the four days of the week in the Igbo calendar. Okonkwo follows a naming tradition that has endured centuries in Igbo culture but is not as popular nowadays. Should baby’s grand arrival fall on Nkwo, or you wish to honor their ancestry, Okonkwo is more than worthy of a revival.
