sammyfrosh:


Can you please clarify the differences between both name?

I for one wishes to know.

Thanks.

hi,sorry for answering late...........Abisola means someone who was given birth to into wealth while Abiola means we give birth to wealth

WHATS THE MEANING OF YEMISI, OLANIKE AND OLANIYI..?

What of Desire ...meaning arrived to goodness

macof:


It's a name given to elephant Hunters or descendants of great elephant Hunters

Like Ogidan is to lion hunters

Ajanaku itself is an Oriki to Elephants, but I don't know the real meaning

I think ogidan is actually a name for tiger not lion hunters.

Thanks for the compilation. However, I noticed MOROMOKE is missing in the list.

Massive list... Brilliant heavy lifting.

ladionline:
ALAKA is about 3 variants: aka (vault) as found in 'awor re mbe l'aka' and aka 2 means swinging fruit as in 'agba bi...' (swinging like) aka or pluck-able. Thus Alaka means vault owner, revolver or plucker. ALAKIJA means 'strong in battle'. ATANDA means a child that has to be conceived in a subtle way for his value, or a 'child [product] of light.' APEKE means one that is cater to by crowd. ABAYOMI means i would have been rejoiced upon. The collection is okay.

Aha! So ALAKIJA means 'strong in battle.'

Brilliant... upgrading my knowledge of
Yoruba names in realtime. Thanks!

boniflex:
obasanjo means full of ugliness

In Igbo Language,
Obasa njọ means the spread(er) of badness or ugliness.
That's why many of his fans, East of the Niger prefer to refer to him as Obasa mma the spread(er) of goodness or beauty!

If I roll once and you roll twice. What does that mean?

Guys, please what does Fakehinde mean? (I know Kehinde is the name of the "older" twin.)

mamathrice:
Guys, please what does Fakehinde mean? (I know Kehinde is the name of the "older" twin.)

The full name is IFakehinde. Showing that a child, probably the last child is gotten from IFA diety

femi4:

mamathrice:
Guys, please what does Fakehinde mean? (I know Kehinde is the name of the "older" twin.)

The name Ifakehinde ,contracted doesn't necessarily need to be associated with twin because Kehinde has to do with second arrival or the last arrival. Though it is an Awo name which was derived from Ifaodu practitioner's ordination.
The bearer is either an offspring of an Ifaodu's priest who has mastery knowledge of the religion or someone who seek help of male child birth through the Ifaodu and after the child was born , he became identified with the religion, in which the child could become consecrated to the priestly lineage of the religion directly or indirectly as a practitioner of it. Ifa or Odu as Prefixed to name is highly revered in Yoruba land because most of the ancestors of these names are priestly lineage, or knowledgeable kingly lineage who understand Ifaodu doctrine.

Secondly, Ifaodu isn't a diety from the simplest way you look at it but that which draws from the base or foundation of creation. The base of creation is where the Yoruba language was stored over 1000s of years ago,which is the reason Yoruba claim to be the earliest citizens of the world even if this isn't true to a large extent. Still,Yoruba ancestors had knowledge of the creation of the world through Ela,who created the world and spoke to Yoruba ancestors through geomancy (cast lot)

What is wrong in bearing English Names while English people don't bear your indigenous names?

Mickey7:
wts wrong with bearing an english name illiterate

These are ancient Yoruba names rooted I Yoruba Traditional Religion and Cosmology.

Ige= A child delivered from the birth canal with his/her leg coming out first (it's called Breech presentation in Medical Parlance).



Alaba= The second child born after a set of twins (ibeji).

The first child after the twins is Idowu, the equivalent of Gambo in Hausa language.

These are Igbo names
