If it's Yoruba, it's "Itunu". Which means peace of mind, or something that gives someone a peace of mind. |

Some Yoruba dialect [i.e Ondo and Ekiti] would call it "Utunu" tho. Next time, you can use this online dictionary for more help. http://www.jolome.com/yoruba/ |

DamiKhojie: Sounds like that's her name. Itunu is also a female name. I might be wrong tho. |

It should be 'Itunu' but probably pronounced in an Ondo/Ekiti/Ilesha dialect cos most of their 'i' are 'u'. 'Itunu' means 'Comfort' |

Lol no you guyz  ) Lynxx (I'm sure) is Igbo, and the word "Utunu" is used in Igbo language as a word of emphasis. It doesn't really mean anything, it's just like "na" (now) at the end of a sentence. e.gDrop that thing na! could be: Drop that thing utunu! Thats basically how it's used. I'm not sure if it's a dialect thing or generally Igbo but I've heard my mother and her siblings, cousins use it most and they're all from Abia. Hope this helped |

Itunu is pronounced the same everywhere in the southwest, as far as i know. It doesnt change to utunu. Someone can correct me if i'm wrong. |
