Babatunmise is Yoruba in Origin.

Babatunmise is a Yoruba given name from southwestern Nigeria. It combines baba “father,” tún “again/restore,” mí “me,” and ṣe “do/make,” yielding readings such as “The Father has done it for me again,” “The Father has restored/remade me,” or more broadly “The Father has acted well on my behalf.” In many contexts “Father” is a reverent reference to God, so the name carries a theophoric sense of gratitude after renewal or deliverance. It is used chiefly for boys, though Yoruba given names can be unisex in contemporary practice.

Attested across the 20th century and increasingly visible in the diaspora, Babatunmise sits among the productive Yoruba “Baba-” name family. Common short forms include Tunmise and Baba; an anglicized nickname Babs also occurs. Orthographic variants are the plain Babatunmise and the tone-marked Bàbá tún mi ṣe. Related formations include Oluwatunmise (“God has remade me”) and Olatunmise (“Honor/wealth has remade me”).
