What is the meaning of the name Adeola ?

The baby name Adeola is a Unisex name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced ah-deh-OH-lah (IPA: /a.dɛ.ˈo.lɑ/).

Adeola is Yoruba in Origin.

Adéọlá (commonly written Adeola) is a Yoruba given name from southwestern Nigeria, used for all genders. Formed from adé “crown, royalty” + ọlá “wealth, honor, nobility,” it conveys meanings such as “the crown brings honor/wealth” or “royal wealth.” Yoruba speakers mark tones as Adé-ọlá; in Anglophone contexts it is often pronounced ah-dee-OH-lah.

Rooted in Yoruba naming customs that praise lineage and aspiration, Adeola is widespread in Nigeria and has traveled with the late-20th-century diaspora to the UK, North America, and the Caribbean. Variants include diacritic forms Adéọlá/Adéola alongside Adeola; short forms are Deola, Ade, and Ola, with Addy in English.
