Hello ma, I read the post of the blog reader that wanted to change their Yoruba name because they don’t like how it sounds. Yoruba names are very special and highly respected by the Yoruba culture. In the Yoruba Kingdom, naming a child is sacred and treated with utmost respect and funfare. Naming of a child is done 7 days after the child is born and it goes with special prayers and sometimes religious incantations and prophecies. What follows after the Yoruba naming ceremony is Entertainment of guests which can last a whole day or more. Relatives travel from far and wide to attend naming ceremonies. Please share this Yoruba names and their meanings on the blog for Yorubas in diaspora and for Foreigners married to Yoruba men.
