Yoruba Name Change by IntroVAT: 2:33pm On Jan 12, 2020
I have a friend who went by the surname: Ogunkomaiya. Recently, when I looked him up, he now went by the name: Jesukomaiya. I don't know what these names mean in Yoruba, but I'm curious about the name change. Does it have anything to do with religion, and is this common? Thanks

Yes it has everything to do with religion. The guy just choose affiliate hisname with Christ rather than the village Thor.

Ogun -----> Jesus
komaiya. ------ Some thing like a word for carry.

I was expecting a word like Ogun mo komaiya

Direct translation
Ogun ------> god of thunder
Mo -------> I
Ko -------> Carry
Ma. --------> On
Iya. --------> My Heart

But when I say like 'On lo komaiya'
I mean you carry the matter for head like gala grin

But let's wait for the elders
