In the Luo language, Okumu (for males) and Akumu (for females) are traditionally given to children conceived under unusual circumstances. Specifically, these names are associated with "mysterious births," such as conception occurring shortly after a previous birth but before the mother's menstrual cycle has resumed. The root "kum" in Luo can imply "punishment" or "mystery," highlighting the unexpected nature of such conceptions.
