Festus U A Otuonye says: Meaning of OTUONYE. Etymologically, Otuonye is an Igbo name. Igbo is a controversial hyperactive tribe of the eastern Nigeria, of the stock of Biafra, the said lost tribe of Israel, near the Bight of Biafra in West Africa. Basically, Abia State and Imo State of Nigeria, dominate in this nomenclature. Ngwa people of Abia, and Mbaise people were known to have christened their children "Otuonye" decades ago. Their grand and great-grand children onward, now bear it as "last name" or sure name. Literally, Otuonye means "one person". Derived from the first Igbo Language numerical, 1 and onye, person/sombody/man,etc, depending on circumstance. The actual meaning could be contrary to the number it represents, for the name was originally sentential. Otuonye is just a part, as in Abbey for Abraham, Hez for Hezekiah. For instance, there is limitation to what a person could achieve. The Bible affirms this by saying that "two are better than one because they have better rewards...", two bring warmth but one does not, Provers, talking of company. You cannot clap with one hand; You cannot sweep clean with a single broom. The name is a wake up call for cooperation among same people in order to achieve greater goals for community developments. An only son, who may have been overpowered by many siblings, may equally christen his son thus, as a remembrance of the limitation of "the few" before the many. On the other hand, Otuonye could be applied "braggingly" to show that one is better or more powerful than many. E.g. "Otuonye ana-asi unu-abiala (Igbo language)". Interpretation: One person that is greeted "You people are welcome", as I personally explain my own. Or, "one man riot", as the Bible succinctly puts it: A thousand shall fall... and ten thousand by your right... Also, "one shall pet seven to flight.. Shorthandingly, I put it as O2onye, but same sound.
