Obinna is an Igbo name, or sometimes surname, originating from the Igbo people located in southeastern Nigeria. The name is typically male, though people from other cultures may bear it. The direct English translation is "father's heart," derived from óbì (heart, mind) and ńnà (father). It can also mean "Father's throne" depending on the context, which explains why it is often given to the first sons of Igbo families.
