Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Girls’ names in Yoruba culture are as important as boys’ names. These names make reference to the Yoruba people’s distinctive culture and moral principles. Also, the names have profound significance, symbolism, and meaning. Some of these names are inspired by elements of nature, historical characters, cultural customs, or personal histories while others are to glorify God and celebrate abstracts such as love, wealth, and success. The Yoruba people have a rich cultural legacy, and Yoruba names for girls still have a significant cultural impact today.

Asides from their names, women and girls are also significant figures in the Yoruba ethnic group in Nigeria. They are known for their strength, resilience, and their contributions to the economic, social, and political development of their communities. Yoruba women play an essential role in the family structure, as they are responsible for the upbringing of children, cooking, and other domestic chores in their homes. 

If you are looking for a Yoruba name either because you are moving to live among the Yorubas or you love their culture and are seeking to adopt a name for yourself, or in a more likely scenario where you are set to have a child, here are some good names from which you can pick.
