The name has its roots in an ancient profession - oil palm farming. This involved one man climbing the palm tree, while the one on ground helps to pass the kernel to fetch the palm. If a much taller man was on the ground, there was no difficulty passing the kernel to the other on the tree. So the tall men of that profession earned the name, "Bammeke", which literally, means 'Pass me the kernel'.
In actual dialect, the name is stressed as 'Ba-mi-mu-eke'
