A patriotic choice for parents with a connection to the West African nation. The name Nigeria was coined by colonialists in 1897, after the Niger River which flows through the country. The river name is of uncertain origin, perhaps from a Saharan language. As a girl name in the USA, it had a low-key wave of popularity in the 1990s and 2000s.
