Assumpta Oturu is a Ugandan-American journalist and poet. She hosts a weekly radio programme, 'Spotlight Africa', on the Los Angeles-based radio station KPFK. She has published poetry as Assumpta Acam-Oturu.
As an Assumpta, this name is beautiful in my opinion. The name Assumpta is popular in Ireland and has Spanish roots. Assumpta means the assumption of Marry. Assumpta is also written and pronounced in different languages such as, Assunta in Italian, which is mostly used in the US. For those of you who said Assumpta wasn't very appealing, at one point in my life I agreed with you. But one day I woke up and realized that Assumpta is not just a name, it's who I am. People in the world all have common names but as for me I am special. This name is rare and people immediately know who I am and what I love. You don't have to love the name but I wish you would respect it. So as an Assumpta, I ask all of those commenters who do not like this name to please not comment on this site and say how much you do not like it. If you don't, just move on, find a different name, preferably one you love and leave the comments to those who enjoy it.

To that commenter above just saying the whole point of this site is for us to share our opinions if everyone just keeps to themselves and only writes nice stuff on this site some clueless parent will choose the name Nigella or Slaven. And on the name Assumpta I actually didn't think of assumptions- I thought of the err, first three letters.
This name was used for a character in Ballykissangel. The actress who played her was Dervla Kirwan - she also portrayed Assumpta in Father Ted and Vicar Of Dibley!
