[quote author=officialcharlz]So i decided to share some nice names igbo people bear and their meaning. Feel free to add yours... 1. Obimnaetochukwu - My heart praises God. This is a personal fave. also the name of a popular nigerian artiste. Though not so popular, this name's meaning signifies a great deal. 2. Chimamanda- My God can never fall/fail. this name resounds the infallibility of God. also the name of famous nigerian writer Ngozi Chimamanda Adichie. 3. Chizutere- God sent. a favorite among the igbo community, other versions include zicora, ziteora. it is also unisex. 4. kamsiyochukwu - literally means 'As i have asked God'. this name is mostly given when a mother has gotten her heart desire as the name implies. 6. Ndidiamaka- Patience is a virtue. It sure is. a female-based name which clearly states the importance of patience in having a child. Others include- 7. Chukwuebuka- God is mighty. 8. Chibuikem- God is my strength. 9. Ifeanyichukwu- Nothing is big for God (He can do all things). 10. Chidindu- God lives. Nice names. |

Mettal: 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. Nice one,I was thinking about Del Boy aka Dereck Chisora when I quoted you.I bet you tried to adapt that Zimbabwean name,then gave it an Igbo meaning..chiso ora or chiso igwe..chiso crowd.. ... God no de follow crowd for Igbo land.. Chi anyi aburo Mr follow follow |

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. The biggest abuse from Abia or is it Imo is NGOZI for a man. I've met a couple of them. It's weird. 3 Likes |
