This paper examines the morphological structure and morphological processes in Itu Mbon Uso
personal names. Data for the study were elicited from six adult native speakers of Itu Mbon Uso
selected through stratification. The theoretical framework adopted was eclectic in nature,
combining Item-and-Arrangement (IA) model of morphological-based theory and Head Feature
Convention (HFC) theory. The findings showed that Itu Mbon Uso personal names have rich
morphological structure which provides grammatical information about the morphemic
components that make up the names. It is also observed that the morphological processes
involved in the formation of the names are mainly derivational in nature and accord with the
structure of the language.
