Meaning: The lord entrusts me; God gave me this

Entrust baby with a name full of meaning. Olujimi is a unique and distinctive masculine name of Yoruban origin. Yoruba is a language primarily spoken in West Africa, most specifically in Central and Southwestern Nigeria, by around 50 million people. Olujimi is made up of the elements of olú, meaning “lord” or “prominent one,” jì, meaning “entrust,” and mí, meaning “me.” Altogether, this culminates in the beautiful definition of “the lord entrusts me” or “God has given me.” If you want to keep baby connected to both their heritage and their faith, Olujimi is certainly a lovely gift.
