Chizoba

Igbo for "God keeps on protecting", from chi "personal god" and zoba "to go on saving or guarding".

Meaning and origin

Chizoba speaks to ongoing protection rather than a single rescue: the verb points at something continuing, so the name reads less like thanks for one escape and more like trust that the guarding will carry on.

How to pronounce Chizoba

Igbo (Nigeria)chee-ZOH-bah /tʃīzòbà/
