God wrote it; what God has written
A name of Igbo origin from Nigeria, it is derived from the phrase 'Chi de ra', meaning 'God has written'. It reflects the cultural belief in destiny and the idea that one's life path is divinely ordained. While traditionally unisex, it is often chosen for the profound spiritual weight of its meaning.
