LEARN MORE ABOUT AFRICAN CULTURE
KINGDOM: Tooro kingdom
COUNTRY: Uganda
REGION: Western Uganda
CURRENT KING: Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru
*MEANINGS OF EMPAAKO*
Empaako is a praise name or a name of respect used among the Banyoro, Batooro, Batagwenda, Batuku and Banyabindi of western Uganda.
Empaako is a word borrowed from the Luo word "Pako" which means "praise".
*TYPES OF EMPAAKO*
We have 13 known empaako. Out of these, 12 begin with letter A and only one starts with letter O.
Twelve are believed to have Luo origins with one claimed to be native in Bunyoro.
1. *Abbala:* Is akin to the Luo word "Abalo" meaning "I have spoilt it". Accordant to our culture, it means someone who loves other people unconditionally. It was formerly reserved for those close to the king-maybe the reason why, even now, it is rare.
2. *Abbooki:* Comes from a Luo word "Aboko" which means "I have narrated to you". The holder of this praise name is meant to be someone who cherishes the roles of parents, teachers, elders, mentors, counsellors and leaders.
3. *Abwooli* : Comes from a Luo word "Abwolo", meaning "I deceive you". However, in our culture, it has to do with diplomatic relationships. The theory behind this is that "Not all truth needs to be told always, because it might cause unnecessary and often avoidable hurt and pain".
4. *Acaali:* From a Luo word "Acalo", meaning "I resemble you". In Bunyoro it refers to someone who resembles another in nature and character and who easily relates to other people.
5. *Acaanga:* It is an uncommon praise name. Not much is known about its Luo root. More research is being done.
6. *Adyeeri* : Related to a Luo word "Adyero" which means that "I have sacrificed you". In Bunyoro, however, Adyeeri is someone who is friendly, affectionate with a larger- than-life heart.
7. *Akiiki:* Is one who upholds national, community and family interests with great lo kindness, honesty, etc
