Iremide is Yoruba in Origin.
Iremide is a Yoruba given name from southwestern Nigeria. It derives from ire “goodness/fortune,” mi “my/me,” and dé “has arrived,” yielding the celebratory sense “my goodness has come” or “good fortune has arrived.” By extension, parents use it to express gratitude for a long-hoped‑for child or a positive turn in the family’s fortunes.
The name appears across Yoruba-speaking communities and the diaspora, with steady modern use alongside other -mide names. It is commonly unisex, sometimes leaning feminine in contemporary records. Orthographic variants include Ìrèmídé and Iremidé; everyday forms without tone marks (Iremide) are widespread. Short forms and pet names include Ire, Mide, and Remi. Related cognates that share the -mide (“has arrived”) morpheme include Ayomide (“my joy has arrived”), Olamide (“wealth has arrived”), and Olumide (“the lord has arrived”).
