What is the meaning pls?

I know zimbabweans name their male children Chisora.
God is with the crowd. The Zimbabwean version is a variant in their local language,don't know about it . One superstar boxer's name is Dereck Chisora. They are one name but different meanings.

jcmaiah: My Igbo name remains the sweetest Igbo name of all time... Chihurumnanya, but since I am male I changed it to Chukwuhurumnanya. In ancient Igbos a mans name don't start with Chi, rather Chukwu. A womans name can end with both chukwu or chi but cant start with it.
Example... Chima=female, chukwuma=male.
again some names that are 99% used by female has male users too.
Example... Chioma=female, Chukwuoma=male.
Chiamaka=female, Chukwuamaka=male.
Igbo name abuses are common in abia state and part of ebonyi. In abia u see a man bearing Chinyere or Chioma.
lol @ the highlighted.
