Konye is a unique and distinctive given name, derived from an African origin, specifically from Nigeria. It is believed to be a Yoruba name that signifies "Meet me by the river." This moniker carries a profound meaning and evokes imagery of tranquility and unity, as rivers have historically been gathering points for communities. Konye is not often encountered in many parts of the world, making it a standout choice for parents seeking a rare yet meaningful name for their child. It is pronounced /KO-nyay/, with emphasis on the first syllable.
"Konye saw an increase in its popularity between 2003 and 2004, with only five babies named Konye born in the first year and sixteen in the second. Altogether, twenty-one children were given this name over those two years."
