A name that means "good god".

Chioma is an Igbo name from Nigeria — composed of Chi (God, personal spirit) and oma (good) — meaning "good God" or "my God is good." It is a thanksgiving name, often given to a daughter after a long-awaited pregnancy or a particularly good blessing.

Chioma is among the most popular Igbo girl's names and is widely used across the Nigerian diaspora.

Where Chioma stands.

Chioma 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.
