Oluwadamilola

Meaning of Oluwadamilola

Originating from the Yoruba language of southwestern Nigeria, Oluwadamilola is a unisex name meaning “God has given me wealth” and is pronounced /oʊ.lu.wa.da.miˈlo.la/. Its literal translation underscores a direct theological association that appeals to families invested in spiritual heritage. In the United States, this name has maintained a low but steady presence in Social Security data from 1992 through 2024, with annual occurrences typically between five and twenty births and national ranks fluctuating in the mid-800s to high-900s. Given these figures, a child named Oluwadamilola is unlikely to encounter many namesakes in the same classroom—a fact that may particularly attract parents seeking a distinctive yet meaningful unisex option. This pattern illustrates the name’s capacity to blend cultural authenticity with discreet uniqueness in contemporary naming practices.
