Meaning and origin of Chike
Chike combines chi, God, and ike, strength or power, giving 'God's power' or 'the strength of God'. It is often a short form of longer names such as Chikezie or Chikelu, but stands well alone. Igbo names frequently state something about God, and Chike is one of the shortest of these. It is closely related in meaning to Ikechukwu, which puts the same ideas in the opposite order.
