All core and authentic igbo names has diminished over times and the little ones remaining is either been contaminated with the word"chukwu/chi" by over religious freaks or englishdized by jobless youth with no comprehension and appreciation of their culture.

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.

Thanks for this insight
Had a close friend during service by the name Chioma. Always found it difficult to address him by that. Most times I'd just go with "Onyem meaning My Guy" grin

And you're right; he's from Abia State!

dammyjay93: uzoch"ukwu" toch"ukwu" etc.. No wonder my ibo brothers can die for ukwu any day grin grin

Chi-ukwu = big God. Because two vowels can't be together, the "i" is truncated ..... Chukwu

gbaskiboy: YIMU "ukwu" na waist oo

Ukwu has several meanings depending on the accents on the vowels.

Úkwù = waist (but for perverts it is both waist and buttocks of lady)
Úkwú = big/large
Ükwü = leg

Ükwü gï a, ö ga-ebu úkwù úkwú = This your leg, can it support a big waist.
