The Lomami river also passes nearby. Chiefs or possessors of the name Omeonga are considered royal. It is also a name meaning "Man of Pillars" or "Noble".{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}} Impact craterThe town lies near the center of a 30 km diameter depression, which is a proposed but unconfirmed ancient impact crater called the "Wembo-Nyama ring structure".[1][2][3] The roundness of the ring is underlined by a tributary of the Lomami river.[4] A similar visual effect can be seen with Manicouagan crater in central Quebec, Canada, where a ring of water surrounds the central René-Levasseur Island.
