Ifedayo is Yoruba in Origin.
Ifedayo is a Yoruba given name from southwestern Nigeria meaning “love has turned to joy.” It combines ifẹ́, “love,” with dáyọ̀, a verb-noun cluster meaning “to become joy” (from di + ayọ̀). The name is unisex and sits within the Yoruba tradition of meaningful, sentence-like names that encapsulate parental hopes or the circumstances of a child’s arrival.
In use throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, Ifedayo appears widely in Nigeria and among diaspora communities in the UK, US, and beyond. Orthographic variants include the tonal form Ifẹ́dáyọ̀ and the simplified ASCII spelling Ifedayo; spacing or hyphenation (Ife Dayo, Ife-Dayo) also occurs. Common short forms are Ife and Dayo. Related Yoruba names include Temidayo and Oladayo (the -dayo series) and Ifeoluwa (the ife- series).
