History & Origin

Iremide is a Yoruba given name built from ire ('goodness, blessing'), mi ('my') and de ('has arrived'). Nigerian families give it in thanksgiving for a child, and often lengthen it to Iremideoluwa, 'my blessing from the Lord'. The devotional weight is real, and we note it respectfully (said 'ee-reh-mee-DEH').

It is very rare for girls in the U.S. and carried by Yoruba families worldwide. Melodic, grateful, and four beats long.

Did you know? Yoruba names often say a whole sentence. Iremide announces that a blessing has come — and in its fuller form, Iremideoluwa, it names the giver: Oluwa, the Lord. A name of gratitude, held with reverence.
