In Kenya we name the children born immediately after the death of a husband Ochola or Achola, especially the child you conceive with your inheritor.

Daweed :
In Dholuo, "chola" can refer to the period of mourning or widowhood observed by a woman after the death and burial of her husband. During this period, certain customs, restrictions, and rituals may apply depending on the community and local traditions.
Some people therefore suggest that the names Achola (female) and Ochola (male) originated from the word chola, and traditionally referred to a child born during a period when the mother was in mourning or widowhood. Under this interpretation:
Achola = a girl associated with or born during chola.
Ochola = a boy associated with or born during chola

In Dinka culture, Achol is used as a female name and Chol as a male name. These names are traditionally given to children born after the loss of a previous child,Achol for a girl and Chol for a boy. It carries the same meaning as explained earlier.🥰
