What Does Etiosa Mean In Yoruba. by Trinity213: 5:49pm On Jun 26, 2015 |
Please can someone help me with the meaning of Etiosa in yoruba language. in edo language it means strength of God. ETI- strength, OSA-God. Some people even bear it as their name in Benin but I was surprise to see Eti-Osa LGA in Lagos state, so i believe it could have another meaning in yoruba or maybe another link between the Edos and the Yorubas. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I think it's a bini name. cos historically, the yorubas originated from Edo.. Few weeks ago, our training(Edo) manager was sharing with us, a brief history of Edo/yoruba origin. He said Akpogbon I.e the bus-stop before CMS is a Bini name. 2 Likes |
Re: What Does Etiosa Mean In Yoruba. by efepro(m): 9:19pm On Jun 26, 2015 |
gawab:Yea, that's the correct spelling, but still didn't change the fact that it was coined from bini because of their historical relation. Also, the igbos, they say, originated from Edo.The will fight and argue with you if u tell them..lol That's why have names like Osadebe etc 1 Like |
Re: What Does Etiosa Mean In Yoruba. by Trinity213: 11:02pm On Jun 26, 2015 |
efepro:That was my initial thought but while Osadebe (igbo) and Osadebamwen (edo) have the same meaning (God is with me). Etiosa(yoruba) and Etinosa (edo) are not even closely related in meaning so i beg to disagree with you. 8 Likes |

efepro: lol, these Binis are Full of themselves sha.. Eti Osa meeand the bank of a Lagoon.. OKUN means Sea in Yoruba While OSA means lagoon ETI means the edge or bank or something. ETI-OSA is two words, which mean LAGOON BANK (which describes the location of the Local government in question). ... not even close to the Bini meaning. 8 Likes |

tonychristopher: But not that Lagos originated from the British. Just that you are indirectly trying to portray that the Yoruba originated from Edo using names as the basis for that. And yes, the Edo has ruled Lagos before. That's a different thing. 7 Likes |

The oosa people are mistaking for (eti) osa lagoon, is a shortened form of orisa, yoruba word for deities. In yoruba, there is osa which means lagoon There is also oosa which means deity. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: What Does Etiosa Mean In Yoruba. by Lionhearted: 5:25am On Jun 28, 2015 |
macof: I don't mean that the Edo has ever subjugated Lagos but rather that a descendant has ruled there. Just like Obama. That he had Kenyan ancestry doesn't mean Kenya have ruled America. Nor that Americans originated from Kenya which is the basis of the discuss with the person I quoted. |
