A Yoruba name gently fading from the charts.
Oluwademilade is a boy's and girl's baby name of Yoruba origin from Nigeria, meaning 'God has crowned me' or 'the Lord has elevated me,' from Oluwa (God) and demilade (has crowned me). It is a name of royal spiritual significance.
In Yoruba culture, names are believed to influence a person's destiny — naming a child with such a declaration of divine coronation sets a high and hopeful tone for their life's journey.
Oluwademilade was #6412 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #10595, but its charm endures.
