Hi. I'm English and have married a Igbo Man. When he returns home we will be starting our family, and I wanted to know some Igbo names, that I can consider for our children. Thanks ![]() 1 Like |

In Igboland it is the right of the father to name his children, Igbo names are rich in meanings and basically tell a story, event or generally praise God, Names i would suggest are: Nkemakolam - My Igbo Name Ngozi Chinenye Emeka Eze Ada Uzondu Chidebere Ndidi The list go on and on |

She asked for meanings Nneoma -- Beautiful/Sweet mother Ifeoma -- Nice thing ![]() ![]() Amaka -- Beautiful Nnenna -- Mother of her father [if you believe in reincarnation]. How come I can only "decrypt" female names? 3 Likes 1 Share |

Wow. Hotstepper's got this on lock. My humble contribution: Chiazor Ebelechuckwu - Amarachi - God's grace Onnaedo - priceless; worth more than gold Ugochi - God's eagle; Divine prestige Ndubuisi - life is paramount *Ejitu* Anyanwu- the sun, the source of light & wisdom Anyachi - GOd's eyes Chijioke Chika (Chikadibia or Chikekepere) - God is supreme (God is greater than all doctors) Oluchi - God's work I apologize for the repeats but these are some of my favs. Can someone (Hotstepper?) please give the meaning of Ejitu. ![]() I'll be back w/ more. But remember, there are so many Igbo names that you needn't choose a "popular" one. Peace. 2 Likes 1 Share |
