Oguntomisin is Yoruba in Origin.

Oguntomisin is a Yoruba theophoric given name from southwestern Nigeria. It combines Ògún, the orìṣà of iron, craft, and resolve, with the clause tó mí sìn (“who accompanies/serves me”). The full sense is “Ogun stands by me” or “Ogun attends to me,” expressing trust in Ogun’s protection and companionship. In Yoruba orthography it may appear as Ògúntómísìn; while tone marks vary by speaker and region, the morphological structure remains consistent.

Long favored in families linked to Ogun - such as smiths, hunters, and soldiers - the name also occurs broadly across Yoruba communities and in the diaspora. It is unisex. Common short forms include Tomisin and Tomi; a tonal short form is Tómísìn. Close cognates replace the verb or complement, yielding names like Ògúntimehìn/Oguntimehin (“Ogun supports me”). In English-language records, the diacritics are typically dropped, so Oguntomisin is the prevailing spelling.
