Percy Onianwa says: There is an error in the above statement of the full words from which the name is derived. It appears the text box does not accept unusual non - English words. I have tried to write the correction, but it just won't set in!
Percy Onianwa says: The meaning of Onianwa is: "the successful burial ceremony of our late father has helped us" This name originates mainly from Ibusa and Asaba, in Delta State of Nigeria. It is shortened from the sentence "on in nan any new a l'anyi" It used to be believed that misfortunes could befall a family if a departed elderly father was not properly buried according to custom. Thus if a family experiences some good fortune, eh the birth of a baby, shortly after the burial of an elder, such good luck is sometimes ascribed to the recent burial ceremony.
Percy Onianwa says: Full native meaning is 'onini nna anyi nwa li anyi' Now I got it correctly written out.
