Meaning and origin of Ayomide
Ayomide is a Yoruba name that means “my joy has come”.
Ayomide is a Yoruba name meaning my joy has come, from ayọ̀, joy, mi, my, and dé, has come. Like many Yoruba names, it describes the circumstances of a birth, in this case the arrival of a long-awaited child. It is used for boys and girls in Nigeria and among Yoruba families abroad. It is said ah-yoh-MEE-deh, with Yoruba tones that English speakers usually flatten. Ayo, a common short form, means joy on its own. Related Yoruba names include Ayodele, joy has come home, and Ayotunde, joy has returned.
