About Nali
Names carry more than just a sound; they hold stories, lineage, and a sense of home. For many in the Nigerian diaspora, our names are the first thing people meet, yet they are often mispronounced, which strips away their meaning and the history they carry.
Nali exists to turn that friction into a moment of connection. Whether you're reconnecting with your roots or simply trying to address a new colleague with respect, this tool is designed to help you say it right. Every entry is more than just data; it’s a guide to understanding the heritage behind the syllables.
Who Made This
I’m Chukwuebuka Ihueze, a Product Designer based in the UK. I’m fascinated by how design can solve the small, everyday problems that actually matter—like preserving culture in a digital world. This project is my way of using technology to foster the kind of understanding that starts with a name.
Become a voice for your culture
Nali is built by the community, for the community. If you're a native speaker, your voice can help preserve our heritage for future generations.
