Obama is an African surname that originated with the Luo tribe in Kenya. The name means "to lean or bend" and has become a common surname globally, particularly after the rise of Barack Obama to the presidency. The name Obama is derived from the Luo language, meaning 'to lean', 'to bend', 'bent over', or 'limping', and does not symbolize resilience and adaptability. It has also become a symbol of hope and unity, transcending its origins to represent a broader American identity.
