Origin

Nzema (Ghana)

Meaning

a feminine Nzema name expressing reliance on and gratitude to God — the name derives from Nyankoma, meaning God alone is sufficient or I depend on God alone; in Nzema and Akan religious thought, Nyame or Nyankopong is the supreme sky deity, the ultimate source of all life and destiny, whose will is expressed through the kra (soul) breathed into every person at birth; names invoking God's sufficiency are given to children born after difficulty — infertility, infant mortality, illness — as statements of faith that the child was given by God against odds and that God's provision alone sustains life; such names carry a quality of hard-won gratitude and are often treated with particular reverence within the family
