Nwaugo

/Nwa-ugo/

Gender: m

1. A child that brought honour or that is a mark of excellence.

2. Child of the eagle


*The eagle is the symbol of excellence & honour among the Igbos which is why titled men wear the quill feather of the eagle on their caps. Hence, the Igbo words for the eagle and honor/excellence are homonymous.
