Nayo is a charming girl's name that bridges two rich cultures: Western African and Japanese. In Japanese, Nayo can be written as 菜世 ("vegetables," "greenery," and "generation") or 奈世 ("tree" or "generation") in kanji, symbolizing a connection to family, nature, and the wonders of the outdoors. In the Yoruba language of West Africa, Nayo is an excellent choice for your smiley tot, meaning "she is our joy," possibly derived from the Yoruban term for "joyful," which is kún fún ayò. From trekking through the woodlands to spreading happiness to their homestead, little Nayo will plant seeds of happiness from day one.
