The glory of God
Derived from the Igbo language of Nigeria, this name combines 'Ugo' (glory, eagle, or honor) with 'Nna' (father or God). It is traditionally used to express that the child represents the divine honor of the Creator. While historically more common for boys, it is increasingly used as a gender-neutral choice in the West.
About 10 boys were named Ugonna in 2025.
