What of babawoju

Please what is the meaning of "Aderogba".

By custom, Yoruba children are named in a ceremony that takes place 7 days after their birth. The names of the Yoruba children are traditionally found by divination performed by a group of Babalawo, traditional Ifa priests, but in recent times names can also come from those of ranking members of the family, including the father, mother, grandparents, or next of kin. Both the mother and father and other next of kin can give their own favorite names to the child. Yoruba Baby names often come from the grandparents and great grandparents of the child to be named.

What of Moritoke?

Nice one, very good job but remaining my name: Adelande meaning We wear the crown

ednaleda:
Nice one, very good job but remaining my name: Adelande meaning We wear the crown

could be wearing the crown or we said we are coming.

It's not really a Yoruba name, it's more of a Spanish one, check google.

It does not mean we wear the crown in that sense, it means "in response to the question (what are you wearing on your head), we are wearing a crown.

it sounds a bit clownish if you try to give it a Yoruba meaning or context, no offence if anyone actually has this as a name.

it's like calling yourself "okelawa" ie we are up there. Doesn't make sense.

or "okeloke" as a name.

its interesting really, also I ranked the most common of the yoruba names http:///yoruba-names-top-20-most-popular-yoruba-names-and-meaning/

Omotola/Omotolani; a child is as worthy as wealth.

A child cant be comparable with wealth, he/she is more than worthy of wealth. People will go at length and spend countless sums of money to conceive a child. That is why, the name, Akanimo (Akaninyene as well) means "Greater than wealth" It means the bearer of the name, "Akanimo" (Akaninyene inclusive) is greater than wealth. And I LIKE that.

Whats the meaning of TIARAOLUWA?

Hope this name would not allow the child to be made fun of by her peers later in school?

Tiaraoluwa sounds like taraoluwa, it could mean "God's body", or "from God's body".
