Yoruba Name Generator


The name generator will generate 15 Yoruba names randomly. Yoruba is Nigerian and is therefore mostly spoken in Nigeria, although it has spread to other countries of West Africa, such as Benin, and it is available in both communities in Europe and America. There are three kinds of names, names (Oruko Amutorunwa), the name of the animal (Oruko Abiso) and the name of the pet (Oriki). The name is not like a name in most cultures. Rather, it is a name that reflects an important event that happened when the child was born. Not all will possess such a name and as such the name does not have to be on the certificate of birth. The name ascribed is more in line with what many cultures would see in the case of Yoruba, it is a given name following a christening ceremony or a naming ceremony. This name may also reflect an important event, but it can also reflect family traditions. The name of the pet or praise name is somewhat similar to the nicknames but for Yoruba it reflects family origins, traditions and hopes for the future of the child. These names could also be used as an assigned name and should be on the birth certificate in this case.
