I am trying to compile a list of traditional Ika names and their meaning. Any help would be much appreciated

Emeka
Obinna
Ada
Ifeoma

All Ika names

babyosisi: Emeka
Obinna
Ada
Ifeoma

All Ika names

I think they use emeke and not emeka in ika, and their ada sounds like eda.

Ika like bende abia dialects has a way of substituting e for i and a.

babyosisi: Emeka
Obinna
Ada
Ifeoma

All Ika names

Ikenchukwu

are you from Ika? Those names are the pure Ika name. Ikenchuku or IkenOse/Ikenehi, Uchechukwu and Efam are also Ika names. There are real life people bearing all those names

No. They're Ika names. Though the poster was obviously edocentric
