Some people may be interested in non Chi, Chineke, or Chukwu related Igbo names. Most Igbo names that are listed have 'chi' in them. List names that are rare and old in particular, but have a meaning for them as well please.  Achebe - Alachebem = 'Goddess Ala protect me' Ezeagu (real person's name) = 'King of the leopards' Iheonukara = 'word of mouth' |

Man Andre, all these Onwu-related names. I'm guessing those names feature quite a bit in Isinweke (just drawing a parallel between your 'anwuchala' greeting and those 'onwu'-themed names). |
| Re: List Of Non-'chi' Igbo Names by AndreUweh(m): 8:12pm On May 24, 2011 |
ChinenyeN:Onwu features in names in all parts of Igboland. Onwudinjo in Igbo-Uzo Delta State. Onwukanjo in Abiriba, Abia state, Onwubiko in Mbaise, Onwuchuruba in Isinweke. Onwujoegwu in Igbo-Uzo, Mahaonwu in Ikwerre etc. |
| Re: List Of Non-'chi' Igbo Names by ChinenyeN(m): 8:17pm On May 24, 2011 |
I know that. I was only just deriving some parallel based on how quickly you identified 'onwu'-themed names. That's all. |
