Igbo people in the house, I hail, oh! Something's been bothering me. @topic, do you guys bear Chidinma or Chidimma? Are they the same thing? Because I've seen the two. Thanks in anticipation.

NeduLuiZ:
Chidinma is the correct spelling

Beauty or good is spelt as "nma"
While an old woman or mother is spelt as "mma"

Chidinma means God is good.

It is chidimma not chidinma.
In Igbo, N and M are not found in a word.
Mma is a word.
But can only be seen in a 'phrasal-word' like oMe-Na-ala.
N and M behave like vowel but they are not vowel in Igbo language (ie myiri-udaume).

NeduLuiZ:
Chidinma is the correct spelling
Beauty or good is spelt as "nma" While an old woman or mother is spelt as "mma"
Chidinma means God is good.

7Alexander:
The correct spelling is 'ChidiMMa'. The letters N and M do not appear side by side in Igbo language

Question for lai mohammed and minister of education Mallam Adamu Adamu

DocAdray:
To my own understanding of Igbo language and grammar, it's CHIDIMMA.

MMA = good, fine, pleasant
NMA is grammatically incorrect in Igbo language, it's a form of anglicising 'MMA'

Eke40seven:


From my understanding, 'Chidinma' means "God is good"

while 'Chidimma' means "God is good TO ME"

some even bear 'ChiMdinma' meaning, "MY God is good"
or 'ChiMdimma' meaning MY God is good TO ME"

There is no wrong or right spelling, its only wrong when you use a variation for an individual with another variation of the name. I know most bearers are always fast to correct the caller on which particular one they bear despite that fact that the differences are slight.

You are wrong. That's my name and I use 'Nma' because WAEC made that error and to keep my documents safe,I continued with it.

U mean u don't know how to spell ur name if not waec?
Did u do igbo language in secondary school? No offence please. I am just surprise

At OP it is CHIDINMA

ahhdah:
That's not true.. Both is correct.. Nma and mma means beauty In Anambra, it's mma In Enugu its Nma

Klington:
