femi4:
Tiwa: our own
Abidemi is unisex
Lolade is not God is with you
Lolade : The wealthy one has arrived
Oluwapelumi: God is with you/me

Bisi is not first daughter, Bisi means "added or multiply". The full name can be Olabisi: Wealth added, Adebisi: Crown added etc

Oluwabusayo: God added to my JOY not wealth

Too many errors and bloggers will just be doing copy and paste
Even Adepeju is not correct. It means the crown is gathered completely/perfectly.

I'm not from Yoruba but my first daughter's name will be Ayomide.. I'm still praying for my Joy to come
Don't mind the op. The name is not meant for girls alone. Any one can bear it. As a matter of fact, most people that I know with the name are boys. I have a younger brother who is Ayomide.

what's the meaning of fuhari

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

'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.
