I love igbo names so much but I don't know why they always begin with chi
is it that we love God too much or what.

chinyere     -    God gives
Amarachi  -  Gods grace/mercy
oluchi        -   Works of God
Ezinne   -    Good mother
Ezinna   -  Good father

Zina and Zikora are Igbo Names? What are their meanings?

Re: Igbo Names & Their Meanings

Both are Igbo names but they seem to be very rare.

Zikora means Show the world but the long form is Zikoranaudodimma - Show the world that peace wonderful. Another variation is Zikoranachidi which means show the world that there is God/that God is able.

Zina is   a variation of Zikora. The long form is Zinachidi which like the second variation of Zikora means; show the world that God is able. . .
