Nigerian Baby Names

Nigerian names announce good news — Ayodele means “joy comes home”, Amara “grace”, Chidi “God exists”. This list spans Nigeria’s naming traditions: Yoruba praise-names, Igbo names built around Chi, plus Hausa and Edo picks like Aminu and Adesuwa. For British-Nigerian families they carry home in every syllable; for everyone else they’re simply some of the most meaning-rich names on earth. Boys’ and girls’ names together, each with its meaning.
