Chioke

With a name like Chioke, your little one will learn to open their eyes and savor the beauty of every moment. This masculine moniker stems from Igbo, a language spoken by the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria. It begins with the element chi, which can honor Chi-Ukwu, the Igbo Creator God, or the spiritual force chi, that is said to guide each person's destiny. Combining chi with the word oke, meaning "speed," gives Chioke the definitions of "God's timing" or "the spirit's timing." In just six letters, Chioke celebrates the freedom that comes from knowing that everything will happen as it's supposed to. The name's alternative translation of "wake up" in the Malawian Chewa language only emphasizes this belief, reminding your child to spend less time thinking and more time embracing the journey.
