History & Origin

Olukolade joins Yoruba Olu ('God; the Lord') to ade ('crown'). It is usually glossed 'God has brought home a crown' — a name of thanksgiving that credits honor to God rather than to the family. Yoruba families give Olu- names with genuine devotional weight, and shorten them freely in daily life (said 'oh-loo-koh-LAH-day').

In the U.S. it is very rare for boys. Rare, Yoruba, and devout.

Did you know? The Yoruba element ade means 'crown' and turns up in many names — Adewale, Adekunle, Olukolade. Here it is paired with Olu, 'God,' so the crown is credited to God (said 'oh-loo-koh-LAH-day').
