Igbo Names & Their Meanings

Our names were never just names. Each one carries a prayer, a story, and a piece of who we are.

This is a dictionary of over 900 Igbo names and their meanings, put together to keep them from being forgotten. Not just the common ones we all know, but the deep, old, and rare names too, the ones that are quietly disappearing.

For every name, you get its meaning, how to pronounce it, and its short forms.

Whether you are naming a child, reconnecting with your roots, or you simply love where you come from, this is something to keep for a lifetime.

Ndị Igbo, this is ours.
