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. 28 Likes 4 Shares |
