Mazi

Mazi is a title of respect in the Igbo culture of Nigeria, similar to 'Mr.' or 'Sir' in English. It is used to address adult men, particularly those who are married or have achieved a certain level of respect within the community. While primarily a title, it has also been adopted as a given name, reflecting the cultural value placed on respect and honor. Its usage as a first name is less common than its use as a title, but it carries the same connotations of dignity and esteem. The name signifies a man of standing and wisdom within the community.
