Except for number 3, I already know that others are related to Islam/Arab! No 10 does not sound arabic to me, it seems to mean "move closer to wealth" 5 Likes |

I always get confused of that Bakare.. Sounds like a Yoruba Name but doesn't have meaning in Yoruba Lang. Now I know! And the last one is "Sunmaila" not "Sunmola". There is "Mosunmola" in Yoruba, which is sometimes shortened to "Sunmola". 3 Likes |

Except those are not Yoruba names but adapted names. So are Kafayatu, shakiratu, Alimo, Peteru, Jakobu etc. NB: Sunmola is from Mosunmola and not Ishmael. |

MRWHINNIG: Raymond?? You can lie o Dr Adedoyin Raymond, the owner of Oduduwa University, is/was a muslim(I don't know what he presently practices). I only know his wife (maybe some of his wives, don't know the actual nos) is a christian, she attends winners chapel then at Parakin when I used to attend the Damn Church. Raymond Adedoyin was born and raised a muslim until he grew up and decided to change his name to Raymond. Like I earlier said, I don't know what he practices now. There are many Raymonds today who were born Abdulrahmon. Even Raymond Dokpesi, the owner of DAAR communications. Hope I made sense. Cheers. 2 Likes |

ramon, not raymond. check the university website. i've never heard of anyone changing their muslim name to raymond. most nigerian muslims keep their names and do not change them to english ones. I think you used your imagination here. |
Re: Top 10 Yoruba Names You Never Guessed Were Arabic Names. by Nobody: 7:52pm On Jul 13, 2014 |
tpia1: ramon, not raymond. The street named after him at Mayfair bears Raymond Adedoyin Street Mayfair, Ile-Ife. The street leads to his private polytechnic. I grew up in Ife, I know his house at Mbabi Mbayo. Cheers. |

Obiagelli: quite interesting. I have always wondered what bakare meant. Is gbadamosi also Arabic?it's from d muslim name Badmus, that is why some call it badamosi like ibb familiy. @op u got no 10 wrong, sunmola means close to wealth but sumiola or asunmon is the correct breed of ismaheal. |

maestroferddi: OP try breakdown "Olohunwa" which I learnt comes from Allahu or Alah. Let's have more examples... No, olohunwa is not from allahu. Olu or olo means the owner and awa means us or we hence oluwa means our owner. Olohun = olu/olo + orun =owner of heaven. |

Re: Top 10 Yoruba Names You Never Guessed Were Arabic Names. by tpia1: 8:06pm On Jul 13, 2014 |
badmus could quite possibly be of european origin, unless someone can post the corresponding arabic meaning. |

op if u re close to the core yoruba speaker, u wont be suprised because ur own name will fall victim right in ur presence. |
