Etymology: Proposed to have derived from Proto-Yoruba *ɔ-mã, from Proto-Edekiri *ɔ-mã, ultimately from Proto-Yoruboid *ɔ́-mã, Cognates include Igala ọ́ma, Itsekiri ọma, and Edo ọmọ. It is related to roots meaning "to beget," or "to give birth to," suggesting *mã to be an obsolete root meaning "to give birth to."
