1000 Yoruba Names: And Their Meanings

By Mr Deji Olaiya

This book was written for three reasons. The first is to document the typography of Yoruba names in Modern Yoruba Orthography. If you are new to this new orthography , or you have never heard about it, you will find it helpful to read the books below to familiarise yourself with the new way to write Yoruba Language. Modern Yoruba Orthography The Dictionary of Modern Yoruba The second reason for writing this book is to satisfy the curiosity of Africans in the Diaspora of Yoruboid descent who are curious about their ancestry and have always wanted to have a Yoruba name to completement their identity. I am talking about people of African descent, particularly in the United States, Brazil, Jamaica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and other nations. If you are in this category, you will no doubt, find a wonderful Yoruba name that will appeal to you, and suits your personality. The third reason why I was compelled to write this book is to let those children born abroad by Nigerian parents know the full meaning of their Yoruba names. This I believe will help to guide their self-esteem and give them more confidence in their daily pursuits by having a firm grasp of their true identities.
