Olufunmiso is Yoruba in Origin.

Olufunmiso is a Yoruba theophoric given name from southwestern Nigeria. Formed from Olu/Oluwa “God/Lord,” fún mi “give me,” and sọ “to speak/say,” it expresses “God has given me something to say,” commonly understood as “God has given me a testimony” or “God gave me a voice.” The construction follows Yoruba sentence-names that record gratitude or an event surrounding a child’s birth.

Usage is rooted in long-standing Yoruba naming practice and expanded in the 20th century alongside the rise of Oluwa- names, especially among Christians; it now appears across the Nigerian diaspora. The name is technically unisex, though the Funmi- cluster tends to skew feminine. Variants and related forms include Oluwafunmiso (fuller form), Funmiso, and the hypocoristic Funmi; compare cognates like Olufunmilayo (“God has given me joy”) and Olufunmilola (“…wealth”). Orthographic Yoruba writes it with tone marks as Olúfúnmísọ̀.
