Chimamanda

Meaning of Chimamanda

Chimamanda (Igbo: chee-mah-MAHN-dah, /tʃiːməˈmændə/) dances onto the scene with the fizz of sparkling lemonade, carrying the uplifting promise “My God will not fail me.” Hailing from the vibrant heart of Nigeria’s Igbo people, it unfurls like a bold Ankara print—woven with spiritual grit, creative spark and a touch of world-class literary flair (just ask the trailblazing author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who wears it like a crown). In the United States, about thirty-odd baby girls a year claim this gem, nudging it into the Top 1000 around the 900s—a sign that this rare, resonant jewel is quickly becoming a favorite for parents seeking cultural depth, poetic strength and global swagger.
