I personally don’t think this is a good name for either gender. It means thrown away. Do you really hate your child that much!

That is not a very nice meaning of a name.

It's because it's a protection name. In many cultures in Africa, the child gets a name with an unpleasant meaning if it seems destined to die at birth. That's to make evil spirits think the child is unwanted - then they have no interest in it.
