What is the meaning of the name Tunde ?

The baby name Tunde is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TOON-deh.

Tunde is Yoruba in Origin.

Tunde is a Yoruba given name, most often a short form of longer names built on the verbal phrase tún dé. In Yoruba, tún is an adverb meaning again or once more, while is the verb arrive, reach, or come. The earliest recoverable form is therefore the phrase tún dé, literally has come again or has returned.

In southwestern Nigeria and the wider Yoruba diaspora, Tunde may stand alone or abbreviate names such as Babatunde, father has returned, Yetunde, Olatunde, wealth has returned, and Ayotunde, joy has returned. These names reflect Yoruba naming practices that mark family circumstance, lineage memory, or the birth of a child after bereavement. English-language records more often treat Tunde as masculine, though Yoruba usage includes both male and female bearers.
