Ikem is an Igbo origin name, meaning 'Is coming'. It's derived from the Igbo phrase 'Nkem', which translates to 'mine' or 'my own'. This suggests a sense of familiarity and belonging. Traditionally, it has been used among Igbo people in Nigeria, but its usage has since expanded globally due to immigration patterns.
"Ikem was a popular baby boy name in 1976 with five babies named that year."
