Book Reviews of 1000+(African) Òrìsà Yorùbá Names
Book Review: A Great Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is excellent. It contains so many different names from so many categories. With categories from Abiku (child-death syndrome) to Joy to Royalty to Warrior to Reincarnation to Ayan (drummer) to Child (Omo) to Beauty and love. It also contains all of the divinations, Ifa, Egungun, Esu, Iwin, Ogun, Ose, Obatala, Ode and Agbe, Osanyin, Osun, Oya, Sango and Yemoja. It also has Oluwa (God). It is printed in Yoruba, so it has all the accents and dots that is needed to accurately pronouce each name. It gives descriptive meanings of each name and even identifies if it is a male's, female's or unisexual name.
The only thing I wish it had was a break down of each name. Since Yoruba names are really sentences put together, I was hoping that it would break down each name to show you exactly what words were put together to make the name. (Ex: Olumayowa which means "God brings Joy." Made of Oluwa (God) Mu wa (Bring it) and Ayo (Joy).
Still, it is an excellent book and worth the cost. If you are looking for the perfect name for your new child, this book will be able to give you just about any option for any situation, expression or condition the child is born in.
