==Origin of name==
Oprah's name was actually supposed to be that of the biblical figure [[Orpah]]. However, it was misspelled on her birth certificate.<ref>[http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/win0int-1]</ref> It might also be an example of [[metathesis]], since the consonant cluster 'pr' is considered easier to pronounce than 'rp.'
