"Ọbara" meaning in Yoruba

See Ọbara in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ɔ̀.bà.ɾà/ Forms: Ọ̀bàrà [canonical]
Etymology: Cognate across Volta-Niger, the term has remained relatively constant across all the languages in that group, making it potentially possible to reconstruct the root all the way to Proto-Volta-Niger, (see Proto-Volta-Niger *-bàlà). Cognate with Igala Ọ̀bàlà, Itsekiri Ọ̀bàrà, ultimately derived from Proto-Yoruboid *ɔ̀-bàlà, see there for more cognates.
