Olufimilola is Yoruba in Origin.

Olufimilola is a Yoruba theophoric given name from southwestern Nigeria. It derives from Olu(wa) “God, the Lord,” fi “to place/put,” mi “me,” and ọlá “honor, wealth, prestige,” yielding the sense “God has placed me in honor” or “God has enriched me.” The concise form often drops the fuller Oluwa- to Olu-, a standard contraction in Yoruba names.

Used in Yoruba communities to express gratitude at a child’s birth, the name appears in church and school registers from the late 19th century and is now widespread in the Nigerian diaspora. It is broadly unisex, though pet forms like Lola can skew feminine. Variants and related forms include Oluwafimilola (full theophoric), Fimilola (short form), Olufunmilola (“God gives me wealth”), and Oluwadamilola (“God has adorned me with wealth”); nicknames include Fimi, Lola, and Ola.
