obama — Obama is a name from the Luo ethnic group of southwestern Kenya, where Barack Obama Sr. was born. It was originally the given name of Barack Obama’s great-grandfather. It is based on the Luo (technically, Dholuo, the name of the language of the Luo) word bam, which means “crooked, slightly bending” . The prefix O- means “he”, and many Luo male names begin with it. Since most traditional Luo names were given by the baby’s mother referring to something about the child’s birth, the best guess is that when Obama’s great-grandfather was born one of his arms or legs looked slightly bent.
