Arinola is Yoruba in Origin.
Arinola is a Yorùbá given name from southwestern Nigeria. In standard Yorùbá orthography it appears as Arínọlá/Arín-olá, combining arin (middle, midst) with ọlá (wealth, honor). The sense is “in the midst of wealth” or “one who stands at the center of honor,” expressing a wish that the child’s life be surrounded by prosperity and dignity. While used for all genders in some families, it is most commonly feminine.
The name belongs to the long tradition of Yorùbá compound virtue-names and has been recorded for generations, with wider international use following the late-20th-century Nigerian diaspora. Anglicized spellings typically drop diacritics (Arinola). Short forms and nicknames include Ari and Nola. Related or thematically linked Yorùbá names built on ọlá include Olamide, Olaide, Olanike, and Omolola. Rare variants include orthographic Arinolá; the concise form retains clear meaning without theophoric elements.
