Femioluwa is Yoruba in Origin.

Femioluwa is a Yoruba theophoric name from southwestern Nigeria, built from fẹ́ (“to love”), mi (“me”), and Oluwa (“the Lord/God”). It reads as a prayerful clause - “Love me, O Lord” - and is often interpreted as “beloved of God” or “God’s love for me.” The structure aligns with Yoruba sentence-based names that express faith, gratitude, or petitions.

Used across Yoruba-speaking communities and the diaspora, Femioluwa appears in church records and modern civil registries from the late 19th century onward as Christianity spread and the Oluwa- name cluster flourished. It is commonly unisex. Short forms include Femi and Olu; diacritic-rich spellings are Fẹ́miolúwa or Fẹmi-Oluwa. Close variants and cognates include Oluwafemi (God loves me), Olúfẹ́mi (the Lord loves me), Ifẹ́mi (my love), Feranmi (love me), Temiloluwa (the Lord is mine), and Ifeloluwa (love of God).
