oh no you di'int
I actually thought she got it because she was supposed to originally be named Orpah, but the nurse or whoever was in charge of writing up the birth certificate, misspelled it. :confused: Maaaybe?

Actually you all are right and I'm wrong. Sorry about that, I guess it is a real name. I had some wrong info and you all were right and I was wrong, sorry.

From this link: Behind the Name: Meaning, Origin and History of the Name Oprah

OPRAH
Gender: Feminine Usage: Various Pronounced: O-prə (English) [key]

"In the case of television personality Oprah Winfrey, it was a childhood mispronunciation of her real name ORPAH that became permanent".

That's what I was told. I've never heard of anyone being named Orpah either though... I think my history teacher in high school is the one who told me that...
