Olujumoke is Yoruba in Origin.

Olujumoke is a Yoruba given name from southwestern Nigeria, built from Olu (a clipped form of Oluwa, “the Lord/God” or Yoruba olú, “chief”), jùmọ̀ (“together”) and mọ̀kẹ́ (“to pamper, cherish”). The combined sense is “God (or the chief) joins others to pamper the child,” broadly understood as “cherished by all with God’s involvement.” It is typically feminine and expresses communal affection and gratitude at a child’s arrival.

Within Yoruba theophoric naming, the fuller form Oluwajumoke is common, while the clipped Olujumoke appears alongside the related Olajumoke (with ola, “honor/wealth,” shifting the meaning to “wealth joins to pamper”). Short forms and variants include Jumoke and Joke (a hypocoristic), and the cognate Ajoke (“to be collectively cherished”). Usage is widespread among Yoruba families in Nigeria and the diaspora (notably the UK and North America), with spellings usually given without tone marks in international contexts.
