Nnakabugo Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

Buganda's Nkima clan (totem/omuziro/ekika is a monkey) is part of those who arrived and populated the area right outside of present-day Ugandan capitol Kampala, just after the first cluster of the five original clans. The head of the Nkima Clan, Mugema, had two daughters, Nnakabugo and Nakabugo, thus the name was borne. These two women were then married off to different clans, spreading their name to Bulemeezi (home to clans Mpologama and Ntalaganya) and the Lujumba sub-clan of Busiro (home to several other clans such as Abalangira, the royal clan; Butiko, Ffumbe, Mmamba, Mpindi, Ngeye, and the Njovu).
