    The Story Behind Oumou-Hawa

    Oumou-Hawa is a compound name with roots in Arabic culture, particularly prevalent in West Africa. 'Oumou' (also spelled Umm or Ummu) is an Arabic word meaning 'mother of' or 'mother'. It is often used as an honorific or a component in names to signify a relationship or a characteristic. 'Hawa' is the Arabic form of Eve, the first woman in Abrahamic religions.
