Olufunmisore is a Yoruba theophoric name from southwestern Nigeria. Built from Olu- (short for Oluwa, “the Lord/God”), fún mi (“give me/has given me”), and ṣọ̀rẹ́ (“kindness, favor, good deed”), it means “The Lord has granted me favor” or “God has been kind to me.” Diacritic form: Olúfúnmiṣọ̀rẹ́. Common variants include the fuller Oluwafunmisore and the clipped Funmisore; related diminutives are Funmi and Olu.

Used across Yoruba communities and the diaspora, the name belongs to a long tradition of gratitude names celebrating divine benevolence, often chosen after a hoped‑for pregnancy, safe delivery, or unexpected blessing. It is typically unisex. Spellings without diacritics dominate in international records, and hyphenation or spacing may appear (e.g., Olu Funmi Sore). Cognate Oluwa‑ names with similar sentiment include Oluwaseun (“we thank God”) and Olufunmilola (“God has given me wealth”).
