The Wor-Lumor further explained that their great grandparents who fought to establish the Osu lineage had such names which have been passed on for several generations.
These names, he explained, must be revered in honour of the first persons who bore them, reason every such name is prefixed with a Nii or a Naa, depending on the gender of the person.
Essentially, giving a child the name Nii or Naa is an ‘appellation’ used for every child born, in reverence to their fore-parents who first bore the names they are given today.
