What Is The Meaning Of Your Name? by Olumogun: 12:02am On Dec 16, 2010
Many of us now go by our English name or our alias (nickname),
thereby forgetting the original ROOT where we come from.
If you are an African, especially a true Nigerian,
no matter your tribe, language or dialet
you must have been given a native name at birth.

Do you still remember your Native name(s)?
if Yes, what is the meaning?
kindly indicate if the name(s) is for male/female or unisex.

Mine were: OLUWASESAN  ===>  The Lord is the Rewarder  == Male
                 OLAROTIMI  ===>  Wealth abides (stay) with me  == Unisex

@olumogun, you are looking for trouble with this your thread. there are many people in the house (forum) who will not want to say anything about their real person talk-less of their real names.

@ post
my name
AKINOLA *Akin is a root name for those believe to be warriors or toughened in those days, * Ola is synonyms to wealth.
so when combined together it is AKIN-NI-OLA i.e mighty/toughened in wealth.
