Omotunde

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Nigerian

Meaning: The child has returned

Omotunde is a sweet and meaningful boy's name of Yoruban origin and one of many monikers that form the concept of Abiku, where parents of Yoruba culture, through their chosen Abiku name, plead with the spirits to lengthen the life of their little one. Meaning "the child has returned," a name like Omotunde may seem more of an act of praise and thanksgiving. Whichever interpretation you choose, let this triumphant name remind you that the prayers you've spoken over your newest addition are neither too big nor too small to be answered.
