Olufunmilola is Yoruba in Origin.

Olufunmilola is a Yoruba theophoric name from southwestern Nigeria. It combines Olú (“the Lord/God”) + fún (“give”) + mi (“me”) + ọlá (“honor, dignity, wealth”), yielding the sense “God has given me honor/wealth” or “the Lord grants me dignity.” In standardized Yoruba it may appear as Olúfúnmilọlá; the extended variant Oluwafunmilola makes the divine element Oluwa (“the Lord”) explicit.

Embedded in Yoruba naming customs that celebrate gratitude at the seventh‑day naming ceremony, Olufunmilola gained broad use through the 20th century and remains common in Nigeria and the Yoruba diaspora. Short forms and related variants include Funmilola, Lọlá/Lola, Funmi, and Olu; longer or cognate forms include Oluwafunmilola and Oluwanifemi. While occasionally unisex, it is most often feminine. International records frequently drop diacritics, so Olufunmilola and Oluwafunmilola are typical passport spellings.
