Chidi

/CHEE-dee/

Meaning

God exists.

Chi (personal god, the divine spark each person carries) + dị (exists): "God is". A short form of many longer names, Chidi affirms the Igbo belief that everyone walks with their own chi.

The chi element opens a vast family of Igbo names: Chinonso ("God is near"), Chidinma ("God is good"), Chiamaka ("God is beautiful").

In the same family

  • Chinonso"God is near."
  • Chidinma"God is good."
