Nice names,
Morenikeji means I am not alone, someone is with me.

Morenikeji means I have seen my double or the one who takes after me. Typically for a girl child and her mother. Kind of like a Junior for boys.

OP almost all Yoruba names are unisex except the names that end with *ke* or begin with *ye*. That is *pamper* and *mother*. Those names are for girls. All the names you wrote there are all unisex except the obvious female oriki names.

omoelerin1:
Even Adepeju is not correct. It means the crown is gathered completely/perfectly.

thanks for this. Especially that Bisi meaning, it made me very very uncomfortable. I ain't yoruba but lived in yoruba land for over two decades. So I have ideas about the meanings of the names. knew two Bisis back then who were guys.

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

thanks for this. Noticed it too

One Yorùbá name I love and would like to give to my child is Mayé.

Mayé means "knows the world."

It's the name of one of the characters in Fémi Òshófisán's play, Women of Owú.

MariaLavina, do you love this name too?

Meaning of Tinunbu, Fashola, Obasanjo, Otedola. Mobalaji, Awolowo, Folawiyo, Odutola, Abiola, these names carries heavy weight, some of the names listed by Op is ironic, filled with wealth and glory, knew many by those names, but living in squalor.
