CHUKWU or CHI precedes many names in igbo.

In Ogoni tribe, Rivers. I think the most popular name is Mensua...... meaning who knows tomorrow.


MensuayeBari....... Only God knows tomorrow.


Just like the igbos, Bari precedes most names in Ogoni.
Bari means God.

Boredom o


Are you from Ogoni?? undecided

What do you think is the most famous masculine and feminine name in your ethnic group. Or other ethnic group if you may.

Well I'm Igbo so I think
Emeka for males
Chioma or Chidinma for female.

Then if I am permitted for Yorubas I think Femi and Funke.

Whilst Hausa I am guessing Musa.

I think AYO is the most popular male yoruba name.

ENE is very popular in my language,I am idoma by tribe. Guess what? My name is Ene too��
Ene means Antelope in Igbo
Mother = Nne (I guess there's a bit relationship between Idoma and Igbo; their language and culture is unnoticeably similar.

Naaa Emeka is by farrr the most common Igbo name.
Followed by Ebuka then maybe Ifeanyi. Obi is not as common. Dede is more like a hailing name used mostly in imo/Abia state. Nobody else uses Dede outside those places.


I doubt if you're an Igbo person.
I was expecting you to list Eze, Obi, Ike, Chike, Chidi and maybe Amaka before mentioning Emeka.

You mean Emeka is more popular than Obi(Obi which is short for several names compared to Emeka which is just one), Eze(Short form of several names) Amaka, Chike(Short for Chibuike, Chikezie).
Another one is Ike(Ikemefuna, Ikenna, Ikechukwu), Chidi(short for many names) ?

These names are as or more popular as/than Emeka. Emeka is not more popular than them
Even chigozie is more popular than Emeka.

You can simply do a local check wherever you are to understand.

I don't want to mention Okoro, Okafor, Okeke and co.

You don't know what you're saying please.

Meaning: It's not a terrible idea to be a great man

Not true. It actually means what the rich does isn't bad in the eyes of the people or the rich does no wrong in the eyes of the people. And the name is ALAMIEYESEIGHA which is actually a shortened version of ALABOMIEYESEIGHA.

In Idoma, Ene is the most popular female name. Ene means mother while Oche is the most popular male name. Oche means King in Idoma
