Adegoke is Yoruba in Origin.
Adegoke is a Yoruba given name and surname from southwestern Nigeria, built from ade "crown, royalty" + gòkè "to rise/ascend," yielding the sense "the crown has ascended," "royalty rises," or "elevation of the crown." With Yoruba tone marks it appears as Adégòkè, and is commonly pronounced ah-deh-GOH-keh.
Traditionally bestowed in families with chieftaincy ties or to express hopes of social elevation, the name is documented across the Yoruba homeland and in diaspora communities since at least the 19th century and remains in steady modern use. Spelling without diacritics (Adegoke) is standard in English contexts; shortened forms include Goke (Gòkè). Variants are chiefly orthographic, appearing with tone marks as Adégòkè, and the name sits within the wider Ade‑ group alongside Adewale, Adeyemi, and others that invoke royal grace. Usage skews masculine, though Yoruba given names are broadly unisex.
