Chi

Chi is a gender-neutral name that has roots in Vietnamese and Chinese as well as Nigerian. A strong presence in Igbo culture and faith, Chi is more than a name—it refers to your guardian spirit or a spark of divine energy, a flame of life that exists in every living creature. Many Igbo names begin with the element chi, but Chi by itself certainly stands out. Chi is also a Vietnamese name with Chinese roots and translates to “leg,” “limb,” or “branch.” As another soul joins your family, another branch grows on your tree, making Chi a warm and welcoming name for your new arrival.
