Chibuikem is a distinctive and meaningful name of Nigerian Igbo origin, predominantly given to males. Pronounced as chee-BOO-ee-kem (/tʃiˈbu.i.kem/), the name carries a profound significance in the Igbo culture, often interpreted as "God is my strength" or "God is my power." This powerful association makes it a popular choice among parents who wish to bestow upon their child a sense of divine support and resilience. The name can also be found in its variation, Chibuike.
In the United States, Chibuikem remains relatively rare but has seen consistent use over the years. Data shows that it has been given to newborns sporadically since at least 1998, with occurrences ranging from 5 to 12 babies per year. Despite its rarity, those who choose this name for their child are often drawn to its unique sound and rich cultural heritage.
