Still waiting.

shymmex:

Nah, you're not wrong.. Iya mi = my mother.



Iyawo means wife, and it doesn't have another meaning as far as I know.



Iyalode or IyaOloodé is a chieftaincy title reserved for women in Yoruba kingdom as far as I know. I hope someone who understands the language better can explain it better to you.

@Anonymous6: Having a boyfriend does not mean you can not open their horizons and meet a friend. Shymmex is certainly a smart and friendly ... There is nothing wrong with exchanging emails with someone else.
Right?
Hats off!

Iyawo means wife, and in some orisa cults the term is used to designate the initiated, denoting that he/she is someone married/united to the deity, someone that have compromisse, that is committed to the deity.

africanboy:
there is a folktale behind the word IYAWO. let me try to remember,

A man travelled to a town "IWO" and spent some years there. He found a beautiful lady and came back with her to his town. People asked him who she was and he replid "Ere iya ti mo lo je ni Iwo" (meaning: the {gift} of the suffering i had in Iwo".

She was promptly named - Iya Iwo (meaning: the suffering of Iwo)

shortened, it became, Iyawo.

Hope I helped!

The name of the man is Orunmila and the story is in Ifa verses, before the event wife meant aya.
