<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-37912748">Naming a child</a>&nbsp;in Nigeria is as important as the birth of the child. A child’s name is supposed to reveal the following:

Ethnic groups in Nigeria usually give names that foretell the child’s future. In Igboland, the name Erinma means a child of beauty/ and one who has great prospects.

2. Names describe the family’s situation when the child was born

Sometimes parents give names to children so they’ll never forget how things were when they gave birth to that child. The Yoruba name Ebudola means insults have become wealth. This is a fitting name for families who have been mocked for being childless or poor.

Religion is an important factor when it comes to child-naming conventions in Nigeria. For the Igbos, names with the prefix ‘Chi’ show reverence to God. Chiamaka means God is beautiful. Chinwendu means life belongs to God. Chioma means good God. In Yorubaland, names with the prefix Oluwa also show respect for God. Oluwatobi means God is mighty. Oluwatofunmi means God is enough for me.

<h2>4. Names reflect the deepest desires of the parents</h2>

It is normal for a child’s name to reflect the hopes and dreams of the parents. Kasimawo is Yoruba name which means let’s wait and see if this child will live long. Parents who have lost many children usually give this name to their newborns.

5. Names reveal the child’s socioeconomic status in the community

Royal families have special names for children. Amir is a Hausa name which means a ruler. Eze (Igbo) means king. In Yoruba, Oba means king, and any names carrying the Oba prefix is meant to show that the bearer is from royalty. Knowing the various royal prefixes will help you choose suitable Nigerian princess names for your baby girl.
