What is the meaning of the name Adedamola ?

The baby name Adedamola is a Unisex name , 5 syllables long and is pronounced ah-deh-dah-MOH-lah.

Adedamola is Yoruba in Origin.

Adedamola is a Yoruba given name from southwestern Nigeria, built from adé "crown, royalty," dá "to combine/make," and olá "wealth, honor." It conveys the idea that "royalty confers wealth" or "the crown has added to honor/wealth," expressing aspirations for prestige and prosperity or acknowledging noble lineage. The name is unisex in contemporary usage and common as a first or middle name within Yoruba-speaking communities and the diaspora.

Documented widely in the 20th century and thriving today, Adedamola aligns with the rich Yoruba tradition of meaning-laden, status-bearing names. Spelled with tones as Adédàmólá, it appears without diacritics in international contexts. Short forms and pet names include Damola, Demola, and Dami. Closely related Ade-names include Ademola and Adeola - similar in theme but with distinct morphology and nuance. Variants in orthography or spacing (Ade-Damola) occur, yet the core sense of dignified prosperity remains.
