wakaman: Ola should mean more on the side of Excellence or Glory not wealth. Wealth in Proper Yoruba is Oro. Olowo - Rich person Oloro - Wealthy person Olola - Exalted or Excellent personality. That is why "Your Excellency" for example can translate into "Olola ju lo" in Yoruba. Olatunji would therefore mean Glory rises or Excellence rises forth again, which holistically makes much more sense as a name as opposed to a reference of 'mere wealth'. Same goes to all names that begin with Ola, that people think means just wealth this, wealth that. It is these days that Ola is now used to mean more of wealth. Spoken Yoruba is becoming more watery each passing generation. 18 Likes 1 Share |
