Re: Yoruba Names For Girls And Their Meaning by dayton8701(m): 10:21pm On Oct 17, 2018 |
The word "Ade" does not necessary means crown in Yoruba naming. Sometimes it can be a verb.for example: A-de meaning "arrive" or "my arrival" depending on the context. When you say Adedayo it can be easily translated to my to"my crown turn to joy" which does not really makes sense. but the real meaning is "my arrival brought joy. Pardon my grammar 1 Like |

Re: Yoruba Names For Girls And Their Meaning by NoToPile: 10:34pm On Oct 17, 2018 |
dayton8701: 'My arrival' would be something like 'di de mi' but it might not be gramatically correct. A-de would mean 'our arrival' plural 'my arrival brought joy' sounds more like 'mayowa'. A lot of the OP's translations are wrong and he's been corrected by some posters, most of these names if you translate directly you may lose the meaning itself. |
