History Of A Name "omotoso" by meoo: 6:45pm On May 07, 2009 |
Does anyone know anything about the last name Omotoso or Omotosho. I know some times certain last names have certain meanings and some last names you will know a little about the person because of there last name. I know it comes from Ibadan, Oyo I think I even saw a village online with that name |
Re: History Of A Name "omotoso" by tpiah: 9:45pm On May 07, 2009 |
its a very common Yoruba surname, I think. I dont know the meaning. |

Hmmnn!!! Though i've heard this name several times and even know people with the name; I had never thought of its meaning. Its difficult to understand but let's try break the name and see if we can get the meaning. omo means child, I think tosho are two words joined together. In yoruba language, there's something called: Ipaoroje i.e. you can join two words together by removing one or two letters and instead use: ' e.g. pami ki n ku becomes pami'nku Therefore, "tosho" could mean "tohun a nso" "tohun a nso" means its good to watch over. From the above therefore, omotosho will mean: A child is good enough to watch over Clap for me nau As for the history, I no no oooooooooo |

Re: History Of A Name "omotoso" by tpiah: 5:51pm On May 08, 2009 |
Omotoso is a very common name across Yorubaland. Its found in different states and I doubt every family with that name is related, or from Ibadan. I stand corrected if I'm wrong though. meoo, you also have to ask the older people in your family for specifics. Are you from Ibadan? |
Re: History Of A Name "omotoso" by meoo: 6:17pm On May 08, 2009 |
tpiah: yes my family comes from there are you sure across the hole yorubaland, every time I tell my last name to someone they say "oh your from Oyo state" |
Re: History Of A Name "omotoso" by tpiah: 7:07pm On May 08, 2009 |
meoo: they do? Most of the people I've met called Omotoso, arent from Oyo state, to the best of my knowledge. This is the first time I'm learning the name is supposed to be from Oyo/Ibadan. |
Re: History Of A Name "omotoso" by topsy25(m): 8:35am On May 11, 2009 |
tpiah: I guess I'll agree with tpiah on this. But my defination still stands |
Re: History Of A Name "omotoso" by mrspepeye: 3:16pm On Jun 13, 2010 |

Re: History Of A Name "omotoso" by Shinatu: 9:07am On Jun 15, 2010 |
Omotoso could mean - A child is like ( or as good as /up to) a jewel. Esho generally in yoruba means jewels 3 Likes |

Re: History Of A Name "omotoso" by Nobody: 10:25pm On May 15, 2012 |
my friend, S. Omotosho is from Ekiti state. The name isn't indigenous to families from Oyo/Ibadan alone. |
Re: History Of A Name "omotoso" by Geomac: 10:00am On May 16, 2012 |
