Ngas names for girls are popular among the Ngas people of Plateau and Bauchi States of Nigeria. While most people prefer English and Christian names, these people prefer local names for their newborn children. Names for them are significant, like in most other cultures in Africa. They can serve as prayers and wishes, a direct message to rivals or perceived enemies, or even a statement with respect to the circumstances behind the birth of a child.
Often referred to as the Angas people, they are a religious group. While most of them have converted to Christianity, some still practice the ancient religion, and a few have chosen Islam. This explains why a lot of their names have “Nen,” which is God in them.
