Is it that a lot of Yorubas don't know Yoruba? Because am seeing a lot of Yoruba named monikers asking about the meaning of a Yoruba name! Even some Yoruba people I've interacted with if I ask what's the meaning of their childs name most will say they don't know or don't know how to put it in english! 2 Likes |

Not so.Taiwo and its variations are shortened forms of "To Aiye Wo" - To taste life. The myth is that Kehinde sent Taiwo/Tayewo/Taye to go first and taste life. If its good, Kehinde will follow. Only a senior will send a junior on errands, hence the saying "Omokeyinde Gba Egbon". I should know as I am a Kehinde/Keyinde. thirty: 2 Likes |
