Nyambe is the name used in various Bantu-speaking cultures to refer to the Supreme Being, the Creator of the universe, and the source of all life. He is often described as all-powerful, all-knowing, and above all.

While different African cultures use various names for the Creator—such as Njambe, Njambi, Nyame, Nyambi, Nyembi, Nzambi, Nzambe, Nzemi—the concept remains largely the same: a single, supreme God who watches over creation like a loving father.
