Adetokunbo is Yoruba in Origin.
Adetokunbo is a Yoruba given name (also found as a family name) formed from ade “crown/royalty” and ti okun bo “has come from across the sea,” yielding “the crown has come from overseas” or “royalty from across the seas.” It is unisex, though more frequent for boys, and is often bestowed on a child born abroad or returning home, symbolizing a treasured heir arriving from distant shores and the continuation of a royal or honored lineage.
Attested across southwestern Nigeria and the Yoruba diaspora since at least the early 20th century, the name appears in diacritic orthography as Adétokúnbọ̀, and commonly shortens to Tokunbo, Kunbo, or Ade; Anglophone nicknames include Toks. Variant spacing or hyphenation (Ade-Tokunbo) also occurs. Notable bearers include jurist Adetokunbo Ademola; the Greek surname Antetokounmpo derives from this name via transliteration, underscoring its cross-cultural journey.
