Meaning & origin

Demilade entered U.S. records in 2010, a relatively recent arrival among African-origin names. Its peak popularity came in 2022, after which its trajectory has been falling since 2021. The name's 1-in-284,679 rarity makes it a distinctive choice, especially for families honoring Yoruba heritage. While its rank of 10,695 places it outside the mainstream, the name carries deep cultural resonance, particularly within Nigerian-American communities. The absence of top states suggests it remains geographically dispersed, with no single region dominating its use.

Demilade is a Yoruba name from southwestern Nigeria, composed of elements 'ade' (crown) and 'ile' (home), with 'mi' (my) and 'de' (has come). It is commonly given to both boys and girls, reflecting the cultural value of royalty and homecoming. The name has gained modest usage in the United States among families with Nigerian heritage, first appearing in Social Security records in 2010.
