Chidimma is a common female given name of Igbo origin, meaning "God is good" (from Chi "God" and mma "good"). The related spelling Chidinma is even more common due to historical transcription practices: English missionaries struggled with the Igbo phoneme /mː/ (a long "mm" sound) and often represented it as "nm". The name itself reflects a common Igbo naming pattern where personal names affirm divine attributes. It is a variant of names built on the root Chi (meaning "God"), such as the diminutive Chidi ("There is God").
