Olufunyinwotimi is Yoruba in Origin.

Olufunyinwotimi is a Yoruba theophoric given name from southwestern Nigeria. Built from Olu- (short for Oluwa, “the Lord”), fún (“to give/bestow”), yìn-wò (“to regard/inspect, consider”), and t’èmí (“mine”), it conveys the blessing “The Lord has made what is mine worthy of admiration.” Some speakers instead connect the middle element to ìyìn (“praise”), yielding the sense “The Lord has given me praise.” The name belongs to the Yoruba tradition of sentence-names expressing gratitude or testimony, and is used for any gender, especially in Christian families.

Full and orthographic variants include Oluwafunyinwotimi and the tonal form Olúfúnyìnwòtìmí. Common short forms and pet names are Olu, Funmi, and Timi. Cognate or stylistically related names in the same family include Olufunmiyin/Oluwafunmiyin (“The Lord gives me praise”) and Olufunmi or Oluwafunmilayo. Usage is documented from the 20th century onward in Nigeria and the diaspora, where its distinct cadence and declarative meaning are prized.
