Delta Igbos form the second dominant ethnic bloc in Delta, and are also known as Anioma people, an acronym drawn from Aniocha, Ndokwa, Ika and Oshimili while the “ma” is a common suffix to complete the word which means “good land”. These people may share language similarities with Igbos but they don't perceive themselves as Igbos culturally. Hence, the reason why Delta Igbo names and meanings share similarities with the Igbos but you hear very little about any shared cultures.
