    Meaning

    Laqanyo translates directly to 'gagging,' 'retching,' or 'nausea'. This name, though carrying an unfavorable literal meaning associated with sickness or discomfort, is sometimes used in naming tradition. In such cases, it may be given to commemorate a difficult or unusual circumstance surrounding the child's birth (such as severe morning sickness during pregnancy) or because the child themselves experienced nausea or feeding difficulties in infancy.
