Another Meaning Of The Word ADE in Yoruba Names by dayton8701(m): 10:27pm On Oct 17, 2018 |
The word "Ade" does not necessary means crown in Yoruba naming. Sometimes it can be a verb.for example: A-de meaning "arrive" or "my arrival" depending on the context. When you say Adedayo it can be easily translated to my to"my crown turn to joy" which does not really makes sense. but the real meaning is "my arrival brought joy. I believe this is educative. 1 Like 2 Shares |

dayton8701:You're absolutely right about this but wrong with the interpretation. It simply means 'the baby boy has already been delivered before your/our arrival, so you/we met the joy(the baby) when you/we arrived. |

DeejaywonDJ1:You are correct. It depends on the family. For royalty the Ade is crown. For non-royalty it’s arrival. Yoruba is a very tricky language. 1 Like |

A friend told me that if you are not from the Royal family, you cant even give your child the prefix, "Ade." Is that true? |
Re: Another Meaning Of The Word ADE in Yoruba Names by dayton8701(m): 11:43am On Jul 29, 2020 |
Ndipe:"Ade" is widely use among the royal family, but it can also be used as a verb A- de( arrival). 2 Likes |

So is it a taboo then for 'non-royals' to bear Ade in Yoruba culture? dayton8701: |
Re: Another Meaning Of The Word ADE in Yoruba Names by Sammy07: 7:03am On Jul 30, 2020 |
Ndipe: Hmmm, not like a taboo. But in Yoruba land, you'll have your family house, family name etc. For example, you can't just change your surname to ogunshola, first thing they'll ask you is -- are you a descendant of Ogun worshipper? So it's common for royals to use Ade. I mean, very common. |
Re: Another Meaning Of The Word ADE in Yoruba Names by Ndipe(m): 7:51am On Jul 30, 2020 |
So a "non-royal" can't name their child, Ade?" When my friend, who is Yoruba, told me this, I found it hard to believe it. I am Ibibio and everybody is entitled to give their child any name of their own choice. Sammy07: |
Re: Another Meaning Of The Word ADE in Yoruba Names by Sammy07: 8:13am On Jul 30, 2020 |
Ndipe: Ade is of two types. (surnames and other names) Ade - crown - royalties use it most (as surnames) Ade - We've arrived, we've come, we're here (anyone can bear it) (as other names) If you see anyone having "ade" as surname, be 99% sure that he's a royalty, the other 1% is if he changed his surname to "ade" But, if you see anyone bearing Ade as middle name, other names, 100% sure that he's either a royalty or not. That's the logic. E.g you have two Friends A & B A bears --- Adetunji Josephine Shola B bears --- Odediran Adebola Michael It means A is 99% royalty B is 90% not royalty. But there are some royals that doesn't use Ade as surnames. That's the logic 2 Likes |

Thanks for the explanation which fits in with what my friend told me. It is way different from my tribe being that names, be it first or last, cant exactly tell if one is 'royalty' or not. Sammy07: 1 Like |
Re: Another Meaning Of The Word ADE in Yoruba Names by Sammy07: 10:39am On Jul 30, 2020 |
Ndipe: Oh, I understand you. Here, if I see some certain surnames, I can deduct the person fore father's profession. For example. ADE --- peculiar to royal family (e.g adewale) OYE - peculiar to chief 's family (e.g oyetunji) OJE - peculiar to egungun family (e.g Ojetunbi) OGUN - peculiar to the worshippers of OGUN (e.g Ogunwale) SANGO - peculiar to worshippers of Sango (e.g Sangotola) OYA - peculiar to worshippers of Oya deity (e.g oyawoye) OSUN - peculiar to worshippers of Osun deity (e.g osunbunmi) AKIN - peculiar to warlord's family (e.g Akintola) AYAN - peculiar to drummers family (e.g ayantola) We also have IFA - peculiar to ifa family worshippers (e.g ifamimikomi (former governor of Ondo State), ifayemi (current governor of ekiti) 1 Like |

Will they be any consequences if a "non-royal" names their child, Adetunji or Adewunmi or Adekemi instead of the prefix, Pls as in Olatunji, Olawunmi, Olakemi . . . ? |

Not at all. But the first thing that comes to mind when you hear such names royalty. Ndipe: 1 Like |

Sammy07:I agree with your assertion because Ade this or that may or not ne associate's with royalty,and specific, not make one come from such noble home, which is due to Christian doctrines. Mostly, names associated with bravery, wealth, or lordship are often use by royalty. |

Sammy07:I agree with your total submission because Ade this or that may or not be associated with royalty, and specific,it doesn't necessary mean that one come from such noble home, which is due to Christian 19th century missionaries doctrines .

dayton8701: Ade always means crown (royalty) in Yoruba Land; A ti de was shortened to A'de (Meaning we have arrived) as you rightly mentioned. |
Re: Another Meaning Of The Word ADE in Yoruba Names by geosegun(m): 8:29am On Aug 04, 2020 |
Olu317: Agreed - Ade in Adelodun is not royalty but connotes arrival f a child during related festive period. |

geosegun:It seems you didnt follow my lead on the information, that's same as your which I stood by. Perhaps, you need understand the fact that ‘Ade' as a prefix or suffix do change the meaning when other word is added. In fact ,‘ Ade' ,in this context of crown is not older Yoruba language or in dialects though it is a generic name for ‘crowns' because, what it means are numerous such as it is ’worn(wear); a description of the metal,bone, wooden material,fezlike material, diadem, etc, which is place on one's head as a symbol of being identified as a ’ King' and also, to cover up the head with whatever need be,etc. So, I agree with your notion here because, Ade+(lo+odun) is homonymous in nature,in the same way ‘Ájé'(figurative expression for witch or one who eats, or We ate(eat) or will eat is homonymous in nature.
