Kerry Washington Reveals She Has An Igbo Name "Ogechi is my Igbo name" she says...
Hollywood actress and SCANDAL actress, Kerry Washington and her former NFL boyfriend, Nnamdi Asomugha; got married in July 2013.
Kerry told InStyle in a recent interview that her mother in-law gave her a Igbo name.
Kerry said “Nnamdi’s parents are Nigerian immigrants. His father passed when he was young. When you marry into the Igbo culture, you get a new name. My name is Ogechi. I wear it on a necklace my mother-in-law gave me.”
Kerry Washington said “My daughter’s name is Isabelle Amarachi. Isabelle is my grandmother’s name. She was a bad-a*s. She’d be scowling if she knew I called her that, but she was an immigrant from Jamaica who raised seven children alone in the Bronx. Isabelle’s middle name, Amarachi is Igbo for ‘God’s grace’.”
