Hello, I love your platform, very educative and novel. However, you need to do a lot of searches and... researches and verifications. My first test of the meaning of a name was not pleasant. The name happens to be my name, Olowoyo. Instead of giving a real dialectical meaning, I was given a different meaning. OLOWOYO, as Ekiti or Ìjẹ̀sà people would pronounce the name. It is pronounced as OLÓWÓ-YO. Meaning Olowoyo bí ọjọ́, òṣùpá yọ bí eré. Meaning, when you see a richman, or his house, he is outstanding among the people because of his opulence. However, your meaning follows Ibadan, Oyo,dialectical meaning:OLOWO-NYO, meaning, richman is happy or exciting. See More
