Chioma

/Chi-ọma/ female

1. Good or favourable Chi or good fortune.

2. Good God.

Cultural context

Among the Igbos, good fortunes are considered to be a function of one's personal Chi. A child may be named Chioma as a prayer for favorable Chi or acknowledging this favourable outcome (a child) one's Chi is resposible for.

A latter definition which is still valid is also added (see (2))
