Omolabake is Yoruba in Origin.

Omolabake is a Yoruba given name from southwestern Nigeria (also found in Benin and Togo). It combines ọmọ “child” with the -lákẹ́ element, a familiar Yoruba naming morpheme meaning “to pamper, cherish, care for,” yielding “the child we cherish” or “a child to be lovingly cared for.” The name is most often feminine and conveys parental tenderness after a long‑awaited or especially cherished birth.

In Yoruba naming customs, Omolabake appears at the seventh‑day ceremony and belongs to a wider -lákẹ́ family of affection‑focused names. Spelling variants include Òmòlábákẹ́ (with tones), Omolabake (anglicized), and the spaced form Omo Labake; Labake is the common short form. Close cognates and stylistic variants are Abike/Abeke (“born to be pampered”), Folake/Folakemi (“pampered with wealth”), and Olabake (“wealth is cherished/to be cared for”). Usage persists both in southwestern Nigeria and across the Yoruba diaspora, where the name’s warm meaning keeps it current in contemporary culture.
