About female luo names
How female luo names are built

Several layers feed the first slot: a core male bank (64) and two larger male layers (325 and 288) supplying names like Jabal and Sheba, plus a 56-entry female bank. So Adongo Odhiambo and Otich Sialo pair a first name with a surname like Odhiambo or Sialo.

Naming notes
Four templates share the same 182-entry surname slot but draw the first element from different banks: a female bank (56), a core male bank (64), and two larger male layers (288 and 325). Because three layers feed the male first slot against one female bank, male results show more first-name variety. Region label: the Lake Victoria and Nyanza region.
