Meaning & origin
Adedamola is a Yoruba name that first appeared in U.S. Social Security data in 1993, and it remains a rare choice. Its peak year of usage in the United States was 2015, though overall numbers remain very low (no rank assigned). The name has been on a falling trajectory since 2014, reflecting a decrease in new registrations. Adedamola is almost exclusively given to boys. Because the name is uncommon, it does not appear in any top state rankings. Despite its rarity in the U.S., Adedamola carries deep cultural significance within Yoruba communities, where names are carefully chosen to reflect the family's hopes and circumstances.
Adedamola is a Yoruba name from Nigeria, composed of the elements 'adé' (crown), 'dá' (to create or become), and 'mọ́la' (wealth or joy). The name can be interpreted as 'the crown has arrived in joy' or 'the crown brings happiness.' It is often given to boys, particularly among the Yoruba people, who traditionally assign names with significant meanings relating to circumstances of birth or family aspirations.
