APEKE means one that is cater to by crowd. ABAYOMI means i would have been rejoiced upon. The collection is okay.

Ajiun is from aji-wun, meaning 'someone who is pleasant as she wakes.'
ajiun is someone you desire each time she wake up in the morning or so.
You can comparatively observe it yourself in close kin, "eji wun mi". Can you see it?
when put to use, the letter w is silenced, we call it silent letter. Don't we?
And without 'w' you may not arrive at the name's truest meaning.
sometimes words being concealed are in utter simplicity.

The ancient Yoruba describe one of their ancestors "Odunnwo"
This means, pleasant to behold, so Ajiun is a feedback to this.

Ona has to do with creativity, trade, and dealbrokerage. From this we have onaja or onoja: a variant of Ona is Ota or Ora or Oloja. ths particularly crept into Ifa as awon omo oloja merindinlogun. From this same ona, the ancient Yoruba derive the word "anago". it still feature in people's name till date, expecially among the Ijebus.

Albeit, Ona definitely has to do with way. In my community people says "wori woku ona koiwa" This were olorishas, and that ona has to do with the route of migration.

PAGAN 9JA:


slave name.

macof:

Those names are given to reincarnated children. Usually reincarnation of one their grandparents. If you have course to believe ur kid is the reincarnation of one of ur parents these names are perfect

ladionline: I think this has to do with Wole Soyinka suggesting that the state be so called when it was about to be created. The state was named after odo [river] Ogun, which run through the state capital, etc. and emptied to the Lagoon somewhere at mcwen, via bonny camp. V/I.
