I'm from Haiti, and the majority of my ancestry is Yoruba. I like to describe my identity as Haitian/Yoruba. however, I was born with a Igbo and Congolese last name, and a Igbo first name. Both of my middle names are Yoruba . My parents explained the reasons behind this, they wanted to show honor for my igbo and Congolese ancestry as well. Knowing that I identify as Yoruba, will my name be a issue with most Yoruba people since it's not technically a Yoruba name?.
@TanaAdu Жыл бұрын
Hi, it's a pleasure to have you here. You have a rounded ancestry, I have to say. 😄🙌🏾 As you might have heard in the video, naming - not just personal names but also other things/objects - is an intentional exercise in Yoruba. Still, your non-Yoruba first/last name being an issue is far from happening. That said, a reasonable suggestion would be to declare your Yoruba name when you are among the tribesmen. It saves you from long talks.😉 Let me add, it is not unlikely that they'd ask your "surname" (family name) and that's because the Yorùbá people also fancy tracing their ancestral lineage. They want to know which "thread you are tied/linked to", which is another reason names are a big deal to us. In such cases where you are asked for a family name, offer your ancestor's name. You can start with the latest one if there'd been a change over the generations. What I mean is, if your first forefathers bore Ajibare and the last of them bore Awodola, you may state the latter and trace your ancestral story back to the former if asked. I hope this helps.

I never knew that the names of the Yoruba deities were the original prefixs for our names, one of my middle names is Oluwatoyin. I kind of feel sad that I don't what my family deity would have been.

The advent of western religion has caused most contemporary families to discard and forget their ancestral deities. You can still inquire from your parents or grandparents. They may know.

Names are everything in Yoruba...Names are what we become. Often Names in ancient times came from "Esentaye", except "amutorunwa". Sometimes, "esentaye" adds another name to "amutorunwa" of the child.
@TanaAdu2 жыл бұрын
I saw this Esentaye somewhere recently. It was in relation to akosejaye. Please will you enlighten me on what it is?
@omoluabiorishaluabi2 жыл бұрын
@@TanaAdu esentaye is ancient (archaic) word for akosejaiye. They synonyms of one another really. Because Yoruba is not being used as language of instruction academically (because that's the only way to uplift and enrich any language) the richness of the language is not being exploited for the world to see it's profound linguistic beauty.

Oluseyifunmi - The Lord did this one for me Olupamilerin - The Lord caused me to laugh Aduramigba - My prayers are answered Omotanwa - The child we have been seeking Olunomijeminu (Olú nu omijé mi nù) - The Lord wiped away my tears Morenikejimi (mostly feminine) - I have found someone to twin with me/I have a buddy Olutamilore - The Lord gave me a gift. (You can have variations like Tamiloreayo - gift of Joy, Tamiloreidunnu - gift of happiness) I hope this helps.
