Kehinde is Yoruba in Origin.
Kehinde is a Yoruba twin name, a shortened form of Omokehinde. Its earliest recoverable form is the full Yoruba phrase-name Ọmọkẹ́hìndé: ọmọ, child, plus kẹ́hìn, to come last or after, and dé, arrive. In literal use it identifies the child who arrived after the other twin, conventionally the second-born twin.
Within Yoruba naming practice, Kehinde is paired with Taiwo or Taiye, the name of the first-born twin. Yoruba tradition often treats Kehinde as the senior twin, with Taiwo understood as the one sent ahead to test the world. The name is used for boys and girls in Nigeria and the Yoruba diaspora; notable bearers include artist Kehinde Wiley and jurist Kehinde Sofola. Forms include Kaindé and fuller Omokehinde. In U.S. and British records it appears mainly from late twentieth-century West African migration, without reaching common national rankings.
