Kanayo==male; for let us be pleading with God==My name!
Full= Kanayochukwu or Kanayolisa, same meaning!

@Chinani, Ejitu,  I should believe or think 99.9% means "what can we use to compare to this/ or to God?", ie kedu ihe a ga ejitu ru/ ejitu[/b]nyere ihe a /mobu chukwu.
It can also be connoted to mean Ejitu mmamma= something used as a sacrifice or glorification to something, especially God, as many Ibo names most at times refer to God!

Or Ejitu Ugo, [b]E ji ihe a tu m ugo![/[/b]i][b]
  Something used to glorify something! Maybe your great grandfather had been looking for a girl or he was overjoyed at the birth of your grandmother and exclaimed Ejitu ugo! I have been crowned by this! [i]E=this thing ji [/i]has been used to tu[i] crown 'm' [me] or 'anyi' [us] [i]ugo[i]glory!

Eg [b]Ejitu[/b]ruchi mmamma![color=Black][/color]

Can somebody tell me about the meaning of the short form "ONYIS" ? I would love to know of which name it is the short form. Can somebody help?
I'm sure it is igbo,
Thanks
Re: Igbo Names & Their Meanings by ndubest(m): 5:34pm On Dec 13, 2007
."ONYIS'" should be ONYISI, which implies the superior or supervisor or the person in charge sort of (head of department)

, full is "onye" which means someone and "isi" which means head, ie ONYEISI OR ONYISI, dropping the letter "E" because two vowels rarely go together in

the Igbo langauage vocabulary

keep the interest up
Re: Igbo Names & Their Meanings by Amiga(f): 7:00pm On Dec 13, 2007
ONYIS can also be ONYEKACHI= who is greater than God or ONYEBUCHI= who is God
Re: Igbo Names & Their Meanings by didara86(f): 10:28pm On Dec 13, 2007

what does Cheme mean?
i heard it some time
Re: Igbo Names & Their Meanings by echelon(m): 4:51pm On Jan 11, 2008
Cheme: Correct spelling may be Chieme which means "God does not, " Actually the name may be a shortened form of a longer one
Re: Igbo Names & Their Meanings by ifyalways(f): 4:59pm On Jan 11, 2008
methinks its "chiemelie" which means "God has won"
the short form can either be "chime" or "emelie"
