whats your yoruba name

I'll tell you later, but not via the forum.

You can see baby names from lots of different
origins on Baby names meaning

does anybody know of a guide to pronunciation for yoruban names? or could someone who's actually yoruban answer this for me? for example, i love the name kayin. is it KYE-en (rhyme with "ryan", or KAY-en? are vowels prounounced like in spanish (a = ah, e = eh, i = ee, o = oh, u =ooh) or more like english (a = ay, e = ee, i= eye, o = oh, u = you)? or something else entirely? thanks for the help!

its more like spanish.

one good thing, it doesnt change like english were "e" could have two different sounds

there are seven vowels "a" "e" "e" "i" "o" "o" "u"


the keyboard I'm using cant render the sylables properly, the second "e" has a dot under it, the second "o" also has a dont under it

thank you. so how does one correctly pronounce the name "kayin" in yoruba?

I've never heard the name "Kayin" maybe thats the abbreviated form

well, if its spelt "kayin" then it would be pronounced with the

"a" as in bag
"i" as in eat

but please note that Yoruba is a tonal language

"ka" could mean count, bend or pluck depending on the tone.

thanks for the info. it's supposed to mean "long-awaited child" or "celebrated child". does that help with the intonations?

omoduni --- or something like that

child is good to have

oluwaseyi--- God has done this

ayomide -- my joy has come

Please if you understands kalabari language very well kindly give us the meaning to these names and give us more kalabari names and their meanings too.
