Olujimy is Yoruba in Origin.

Rooted in Yoruba (southwestern Nigeria), Olujimy is a modern Anglicized variant of Olújìmí, built from Olú/Olúwa (“Lord, God”) + jí mí (“awaken me, rouse me”). It is commonly glossed as “God awakens me” or “the Lord has revived me,” expressing renewal, deliverance, and gratitude. Diminutives include Jimi and Olu.

Among the Yoruba it functions as both given name and surname, with wider given‑name use in the 20th century and across the diaspora. Spelling and tonal variants include Olujimi, Olújìmí, and Oluwajimi (explicitly including Olúwa). While often used for boys, it is essentially unisex in Yoruba practice. In English contexts it is sometimes mistaken for Jimmy (short for James), but the two are unrelated. Notable bearers include Nigerian politician Olujimi “Jimi” Agbaje; the surname appears in public figures such as Biodun Olujimi, helping keep the name familiar beyond West Africa.
