The surname ‘Ogene’ is derived from the original word ‘Oghene’ which is the Urhobo name for ‘God’. The Urhobos are a Nigerian language group or tribe residing in the Delta region of Southern Nigeria. Adjoining language groups or tribes particularly the Isokos and Binis and Igbos have adopted the name and spell it without the’h’ changing the meaning to signify a high political office or a kind of chieftaincy title. In the course of time, this title name ‘Ogene’ displaces the title holder’s original surname. In other contexts the name ‘Ogene’ is used for a minister in a mini-kingdom or city state in Igboland, such as the Ogene of Obosi kingdom.
