Kenyan gospel musician Eko Dydda has once again caught Kenyans’ attention with his creative approach to naming his children, after giving his daughter the unique name ‘5 Star Billions Increase Dydda.’
The singer is known for choosing unusual names for his children, with his latest choice continuing a trend that has made his family stand out among Kenyan celebrity families.
The name 5 Star Billions Increase Dydda has attracted attention for its unusual combination of words, with many likely curious about its inspiration.
A Trend of Unique Names
Eko Dydda has previously explained that his choice of names for his children is intentional. Unlike many parents who prefer traditional or commonly used names, the musician believes in giving his children names that carry a deeper message.
His two sons are known as Keepitreal Favour Dydda and Amblessed Wisdom Dydda. Their names have also attracted public attention.

The Story Behind the Choice
His wife, Galia, explained that they did not want to give their children names that would associate them with a particular tribe.
She said she trusted her husband with the responsibility of choosing the names and supported his ideas.
“I believe there is so much power in names. The sentence names are a name like any other,” she explained.
Promoting Unity
Eko Dydda has also been known for his efforts to promote unity through his Tribe-All movement, which encourages Kenyans to embrace one another regardless of their tribal backgrounds.
His approach to naming his children has therefore been part of a wider message about identity, unity and living together.
Doing Things Differently
Over the years, the gospel musician has remained one of Kenya’s entertainers known for doing things differently, both in his music and in his personal life. His daughter’s name adds another chapter to his family naming tradition.
