About male yoruba names

How male yoruba names are built

A result is a single given name emitted as a bare word, in male (179 entries), female (187) and neutral (138) banks. Entries surface without any attached gloss, so a pull reads simply as "Olaitan", "Moniade" or "Babatunde".

  • Babatunde

    single entry from the 179-entry male bank, emitted as the bare name

  • Folake

    single entry from the 187-entry female bank, emitted as the bare name

  • Enitan

    single entry from the 138-entry neutral bank, usable for either gender

Naming notes

Questions about male yoruba names

Do the results include a meaning?
No. Each pull is the bare name, like Olaitan or Temidare, with no gloss attached, so look up a meaning separately if your story needs one.
Why is there a neutral option?
A 138-entry neutral bank holds entries used for either gender, such as Enitan, alongside the 179-entry male and 187-entry female banks.
Is there a surname slot?
No. Each result is one given name from its bank, so pair it with a family name yourself if your setting calls for a full name.
