History & Origin

Olamide is a Yoruba name from Nigeria, usually rendered 'my wealth has come'. The element ola carries both 'riches' and 'honour', and the name is given as a statement that the child is the family's fortune. It is used for girls and boys alike. We note the cultural roots with respect (said 'oh-lah-MEE-deh').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S., chiefly in Nigerian families. Very rare, warm, and Yoruba-rooted.

Did you know? The Yoruba ola means 'wealth' but also 'honour' — so Olamide is less about money than about a family's dignity arriving with a child (said 'oh-lah-MEE-deh').
