Native names are pleasant, people find native names as something so sweet and beautiful. They loved their native names, sometimes because of the meaning attached to these native names.
People believed that their native names are something that can describe them and their personalities perfectly, and that, it is something positive.
Today, it is unfortunate that parents will give their children names without knowing the meaning of the names they gave to their children. This is true!
However, my focus in this article will be on Igbo female names and the meaning attached to these names. I am going to make available Igbo female names, at least 200 of those names and their meaning, so that those who desire to give their female children Igbo names or perhaps, those who wish to change their names and take to Igbo names can do so. For those who are from Igbo extraction, you just have to love your native names, are they not sweet in their meaning?
I am convinced that this list of Igbo female names will guide every parent while choosing good and meaningful lgbo names for their female children. Although, it is the right of parents to give the right names to their children, whatever names they desire, but that never means that, they can just give any name to their children.
