African (Esan, Benin). Edoghogho means "wealth has come" in the Esan language spoken in Benin. It is believed to be a name that brings good fortune and prosperity to its bearer. This name which means "Day of Joy," originates from the Isoko and Edo ethnolinguistic groups of Southern Nigeria which is located on the West Coast of Africa.
