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. Notable bearers include journalist Adeola Fayehun and lawyer Adeola Austin Oyinlade.
