Ngozi

Meaning of Ngozi

Pronounced en-GOH-zee (/ɛnˈɡoʊzi/), Ngozi is a feminine given name of Igbo provenance, entrenched in the Southeastern Nigerian lexicon and signifying “blessing,” a semantic field that highlights notions of divine favor and communal gratitude. Within Anglo-American naming statistics, its incidence in the United States has remained modest, with Social Security Administration data indicating annual registrations rarely exceeding twenty over the past half-century and corresponding popularity ranks consistently ranging between the 800th and 950th positions, thereby underscoring its profile as a culturally specific yet distinctively rare choice among contemporary parents. As a result, Ngozi appeals to those seeking an appellation that encapsulates cultural heritage while maintaining phonetic accessibility within English-speaking contexts.
