Buchi is the Igbo short form of Onyebuchi ("who is like God").
Honored with an OBE in 2005.
Buchi does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Buchi reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
