Re: Nigerian Native Names And Their Meanings by bigfrancis21: 11:28pm On Mar 11, 2015 |
kemifemi: anayochukwu = We implore (beg) unto God ogochukwu = God's kindness kikachukwu = Ginikachukwu? (Gini ka chukwu) What is greater than God? Onyekachukwu = Who is greater than God? chidalu = Thank God. abumere = Obumneme? = Literally, am I the one doing [great things]? Rendered more properly as, 'it is not of my doing'. kenechukwu = Thank God. Or Kelechi. Kene/Kele is the Igbo verb for 'thank' and the noun (thanks) is 'ekene'. Eziwanyi or eziwanne( not sure) = Ezinwanyi = Good woman, Ezinwanne = good sibling. Obiora = Heart (obi) of the people (ora) Obinna = Heart(obi) of the father (nna) Ndubuisi = Life (ndu) is (bu) important (isi). 4 Likes |
