RE: Hokule’a, Star of Gladness — Steemit Name Challenge
In my place we believe that names have a power over those who bear them and as such people are careful with the names they choose to bear as well as the names they give their children.
I am from the bini speaking part of Edo State in Nigeria. My name which was given to me by my father is Osahon. I have several names; my maternal grandmother and grandfather named me also but I do not use the names only Osahon.
In the bini language, my name in full means God hears. Osa is the bini word for God. I like to think that the name gives me a path to my creator. 😂
That's a wonderful name! Yes, I believe that names have power as well, and I felt like I came fully into myself when I changed my name legally to the one I carry now. Thanks so much for sharing yours. God does indeed hear us, and your name is a blessed one!
