Olufunmisola is Yoruba in Origin.

Olufunmisola is a Yoruba theophoric name from southwestern Nigeria. It combines Olú - commonly a contraction of Oluwa, “God” or “the Lord” - with fún mi, “give me,” and ọlá/ṣọlá, “honor, prestige, wealth.” The full sense is “God has given me honor/wealth” or “God grants me prestige,” expressing parental gratitude and hopes for a life marked by dignity and prosperity.

Used across Yoruba communities since at least the late 19th century, the name typifies thanksgiving names bestowed after safe delivery or a change in family fortune, and it remains popular in the diaspora. Variants and spellings include Oluwafunmisola, Olúfunmisọlá, Funmisola, and the diacriticless Olufunmisola; related forms such as Funmilola and Oluwafunmilola shift the final element to l’ọlá/“in honor.” Common nicknames are Funmi, Sola, and Ola. Though often read as feminine, it is traditionally unisex in Yoruba naming practice.
