Is Adesuwa A Benin Name? by SteLette(f): 10:24pm On Oct 30, 2019 |
Hi all, Please let me know if this name is Bini or Esan. Already registered my child with this name before someone mentioned it may be an Esan name and Im freaking out as my dad is from Benin although I havent been home in years and dont speak the language - I want my child to have that heritage in her name. Thank you!!!!!! 1 Like |

i won't be surprised if it's a Yoruba name 'cause it seems Benins are confused people. I noticed it's one of the Southern States with predominantly Muslims. they bear hausa, Yoruba, Igbo and their indegenous names. funny people! 1 Like |

Adesuwa is a pure benin name not esan or yoruba name The esan dont use the word Ade meaning direction which the esan for direction sound different... But it becoming noticeable that most esans are now bearing the benin names as of presently For the yorubas they probably adopted the name not quite long from the edos since it sounds also like a yoruba name |

gregyboy: Yoruba don't bear "Adesuwa" but "Adesewa" "Ade" means Crown in Yoruba "Ewa" means Beauty in Yoruba "Sewa" means to be Beautiful "Adesewa" means Crown that is Beautiful in Yoruba or "Beautiful Crown" Females from the Royal family in Yoruba Land usually bear that name especially princesses Since "Adesuwa" have a different meaning in Benin it might actually be two different names with different meaning and no connection. And Adesewa have numerous records in Yoruba 4 Likes 1 Share |

PureFace1:Adesuwa in some Yoruba dialects can mean crown birthed us or crown surrounds us. Ade though is a Yoruba prefix. Majority of Bini names do not start with Ade. While a lot of Yoruba names do. 2 Likes 1 Share |

tohyorsih2: In Ekiti it means, 'She has come to wealth, come to make wealth or crown makes wealth, also a celebrity... 'Uwa, Ua (Ekiti and some others leaves out 'w') mean 'wealth' or to celebrate, being celebrated, just as 'Uyi' means 'fame or prestige' but in central Yoruba 'Iwa & Uwa in C/E Yoruba' can also mean 'Character' while 'Ọrọ'̀ is 'wealth'; 'Uyi' is 'Iyi'; Adesua/Adesuwa in C/E Yoruba=Adeṣẹyẹ in proper Yoruba. Adesuwa is a Bini name, you can give your child but it's a name people bear across Edo, Ekiti, Ondo states and to some extent among Ìjèsà and Ife in Osun State. Just like names with predix like Osa, Ogun, Aideyan, etc and those with sufix like Uwa, Ua (Adesuwa, Adesua, Akinlua, Adelua, Ademilua), Uyi (Ademiluyi, Suyi, etc). 3 Likes 1 Share |

Uwa has various meanings in the different Nigerian languages, for Yoruba, I doubt wealth is one of them. I could be wrong of course. Uwa seems to be wealth in the midwest (specifically Itsekiri). Iwa or Uwa means manners in Yoruba. It's considered a suffix in Oduduwa: Odu to da Iwa ie the myth or spell that brought culture. The op's context is Benin versus Esan, not Yoruba. 2 Likes 1 Share |
