Dotng:


1. Ola that means wealth has its own markings. It is spelled and pronounced as Ọlá

2. However, OLA that means glory is pronounced differently from the above. It is spelled and pronounced as ọlà

3. Just as Ola that means tomorrow is pronounced differently from the rest. it is spelled as ọla

The first two have tonal markings on the first and last alphabets and the last has only one tonal marking on the first alphabet. You will need to familiarise yourself with Yoruba alphabet before you can understand the difference in pronunciation and then the varying meaning of the words. Keyboards are not often equipped with special characters to show the markings on each alphabet.

What is the meaning of Yemisi, Ramotu and Olaniyi in Yoruba. I am not Yoruba, but I have plans of giving my child a Yoruba name.
Yemisi is an abbreviation of either Ola, Olu or Akin. If it
Olayemisi - Wealth fits me.
Oluyemisi - Lord fits me.
Akinyemisi - Valor fits me.
Ramotu is an adaptation of muslim name Rahmat.
Olaniyi - Wealth has worth.

Lol. I even thought I would see pre-colonial era Yoruba names. Not theses christian era oluwa-this-and-that kinda names. How the heck are these names uncommon?
Ologbeni, Olu/Oluwa means the same thing in Yorubaland.
