Among the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria, names reflect deep spiritual beliefs, gratitude to God, or family events. Monikers often include the prefix “Chi” (God) or “Nna” (Father), symbolizing divine guidance or paternal ties. Whether employing rhythmic forms like Chinedu or using proverbs about prosperity, these choices tie present generations to a proud Igbo heritage. Families frequently select names to express moral convictions and communal unity.
