NovusHomo: Not so.Taiwo and its variations are shortened forms of "To Aiye Wo" - To taste life. The myth is that Kehinde sent Taiwo/Tayewo/Taye to go first and taste life. If its good, Kehinde will follow. Only a senior will send a junior on errands, hence the saying "Omokeyinde Gba Egbon". I should know as I am a Kehinde/Keyinde.

This is one of the debates that characterize Yoruba cosmological studies. Dont loss yourself in it!

The Yoruba cosmogony has it that every one is conceived a twin. It is the cry (of joy or otherwise) of the first comer who has been sent as 'world tester' (Ato-aiye-wo) that determines if 'the late-comer' (Akahin-de) will come. So, it can be concluded that it was your cry of sorrow at birth that discouraged your twin from being born alongside you.

On who is the eldest, even though mothers may agree that tradition bullies Taiwo into submission, their birth certificates hold a contrary view. Too, in gatherings and elsewhere, people would naturally refer to Taiye first. This may suffice to say that 'Akehinde-gbegbon o, sugbon Taiye-L'olu!' (The Latecomer may be the Usurper of Seniority indeed but Taiye- The World-Taster- is lord).

RIP my awesome Kehinde. May the maternal chords that gave us life remain forever young and blessed. I love and miss you deeply.

Shittu- Used to be my late grandpa's middle name. It is of Arabic origin and not a Yoruba methinks.

DataFusion: Please what is the meaning of:

Alakija

OR
'A ba yo mi Oluwa ni o je' TRANSLATION - "I would have been slided/tackled if not for God's saving grace"
Often used to acknowledge God's support against challenges faced by a parent at the time of birth of the baby being named
This meaning is often fully expressed in praise names 'Oriki'

ATANDA
Meanining; A person of specialy (re)searched atributes at creation. A praise/pet name - ORIKI

ALAKIJA

APEKE

Praise/pet name ORIKI for a valued female

Much more later .........

just wondering about the prefix/suffix "ifa" in yoruba morphology.

did ifa replace "omi" by any chance, or are the two concurrent.

Omi is usually a name associated with the more ancient yoruba.

Right. Its Arabic.

Sorry, I doubt if the two are in any way related, but both are common with the people from Ife & environ

abayomi refers to a parent having a child against all odds and much opposition from antagonists. From before conception, not just the time of the baby's birth, but also fierce opposition to the marriage itself, and a much broader context.


alakija are returnees, do you mean they were originally from ikija?


apeke is someone who was called into existence, or someone who was called specifically and then cherished.

abayomi - your meaning is not far from the one I gave, each person applies it as applicable to them
alakija - The returnees are probably the most prominent pple with that name but not the only one
apeke - your meaning is not far from mine

Nice to be engaged by an NL celebrity ..............

all nlers are celebrities.

as per your other points, you're right- i just went into a little more detail.

abayomi, for example, is much more than just the child's birth, it encompasses a much wider frame of reference.

Lolaabokoku:

Inioluwa or niniola?
Anyway inioluwa means I have God
Meanwhile niniola means å child that. Brings wealth..

. sorry. but i think inioluwa means God's heritage or God's property not I have God. I have God should be Mololuwa.

Niniola should be a child that has wealth, or the possession of wealth.

Ola also means family though.
