What is the meaning of the name Adetutu ?

The baby name Adetutu is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced ah-DEH-too-too (approx. /aːdɛˈtutu/).

Adetutu is Yoruba in Origin.

Adetutu is a Yoruba given name from southwestern Nigeria, built from ade, "crown/royalty," and tútù, "cool, gentle, appeased." Together it conveys "the crown is cool," often interpreted as "royalty brings peace" or "a gentle reign." In Yoruba thought tútù carries moral overtones of calmness and blessing, so the name expresses a hope that honor and leadership in the family will be serene and favor-laden.

Used for generations in Yoruba polities where the ade symbolizes legitimate authority, Adetutu has been given both to children born into chieftaincy lines and to those whose parents aspire to dignified character. It is most commonly feminine today, though Ade‑ names can be unisex. Variants include the fully marked form Adétútù and the unaccented Adetutu; familiar short forms are Tutu and Ade. Related Ade‑ names with complementary meanings include Adeola ("crown of wealth") and Adeyemi ("the crown befits me").
