Oluyemi

Oluyemi is a Yoruba name, commonly given to males. It is of Nigerian origin, specifically from the Yoruba people of West Africa. The name translates roughly to "God has befit me" or "God has adorned me." "Olu" is a shortened form of "Oluwa" meaning God or Lord. "Yemi" means "befits me" or "adorns me." Thus, the name carries a sense of gratitude and recognition of divine favor and blessing. As with many Yoruba names, the meaning is an important aspect of its selection and reflects the parents' hope for the child's future and their acknowledgement of a divine influence in their life.
