Meaning and background

The story behind Ugo

Ugo has distinct Italian and Igbo histories, so its spelling cannot be translated in a single way. The Italian name is a form of Hugh, generally said OO-goh; the Igbo name is connected to the word for 'eagle' and also occurs within longer names. Both are genuine traditions, but identifying the intended one would require information beyond the catalogue entry. Neither should displace the other.

Origin
Separate documented uses: Italian form of Hugh; an independent Igbo name associated with ugo, “eagle”. Source
Meaning
In Igbo Ugo means “eagle”; not the translation of Italian Ugo. Source
