Over at that igbo girl an interview with the founder of Ukpuru, Chiadikobi:
What is the meaning behind the name ‘Ukpuru’?More here
Ukpuru (ụ́kpụ́rụ́ or ụ́kpụ́lụ́) in Igbo means ‘footprints’. It’s probably obvious why I chose this name, but I chose it quite quickly and I’m actually happy that I chose that word. I consciously made a decision to choose a word that was Igbo but also generally more ambiguous so I wouldn’t have to be tied down, for example if I called it ‘Igbo history blog’ I’d have this responsibility and I’d have to be really serious, the blog is really a personal one where I post generally anything related to eastern Nigeria or Africa, especially on Tumblr.
