History & Origin

Taraoluwa is a Yoruba name whose heart is Oluwa, 'God' or 'the Lord'. Like many Yoruba theophoric names it makes a small prayer of the child's name, reading in the spirit of 'God is enough' or a call to rest calmly in God. Such names are given widely among the Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria.

Taraoluwa is a recent arrival in United States records, part of a broader growth of Nigerian and West African names, and it stayed very rare, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak around 2015. A girl named Taraoluwa then is still a child today.

Did you know? Countless Yoruba names carry the element Oluwa, 'the Lord', among them Oluwaseun and Oluwatobi, placing a statement of faith right inside the child's name.
