Nwachukwu
From Igbo nwa, "child", and Chukwu, the Supreme God: a child entrusted to the family by God.
Meaning and origin
Nwachukwu joins the Igbo word for child to Chukwu, the name Igbo tradition gives the Supreme Being, so that the boy is presented as a gift a family has been given rather than something they produced on their own.
