Former Housemate Of Level Up Edition, BBNaija Hermes Chibueze Iyele, has revealed that he and his siblings were given named after gods.
The performance artist, BBNaija Hermes, during one of his post-eviction interviews, stated his father name all four of them after various gods.
He said ‘Hermes’ is not a stage moniker but what his father gave him at birth.
“My father named us four after gods. My two brothers are Akhnaton and Kuthumi, while my sister is Isis. Hermes is my real name,” he said.
In ancient Greek mythology and religion, Hermes is an Olympian deity. As the gods’ herald, Hermes is renowned.
He is also regarded as the guardian of humans, travelers, merchants, thieves, and orators.
He is able to move rapidly and easily between the worlds of the mortal and the heavenly, aided by his winged sandals.
As a conductor of souls into the afterlife, or “psychopomp,” Hermes assumes the role of this figure.
Akhenaten, also spelled Akhenaton, Akhnaton, or Ikhnaton, also called Amenhotep IV, Greek Amenophis, was an ancient Egyptian king.
He was the 18th dynasty ruler of ancient Egypt (1353–36 BCE), and he founded a new cult honoring the sun’s disk known as the Aton (hence his assumed name, Akhenaten, which translates to “useful to Aton”).
The Theosophical Society was founded in 1875, and it is believed that Kuthumi, also known as Koot Hoomi and frequently abbreviated as K.H., was one of the Mahatmas who served as an inspiration.
Master Kuthumi, formerly the Chohan of the Second Ray of Divine Illumination, now serves alongside Jesus as the World Teacher.
Kuthumi, the Master Psychologist and Youth Sponsor, is well-known. He is the leader of the Brothers and Sisters of the Golden Robe and the hierarch of the etheric Temple of Illumination in Kashmir, India, also known as the Cathedral of Nature.
Isis was the daughter of the earth god Geb and the sky goddess Nut and the sister of the deities Osiris, Seth, and Nephthys.
She was also married to Osiris, the god of the grave, and gave birth to his son Horus.
