This paper is about the inner meaning of Igbo names. The researcher intends to find out the inner meaning hidden in the names Igbo people give to their children. The research was guided by Meaning theory of Park (2010). At the end of the research, it was discovered that there are hidden meanings in the names Igbo people take. That is there are a number of things that prompt the Igbo people to give their children various names. The names arose out of their understanding of life, the universe and things therein. This is summarized in time counting, belief and human experience.
