Meaning & origin

Ebunoluwa is a Yoruba name meaning 'God's gift,' reflecting a common naming tradition among Yoruba families. First recorded in the United States in 1999, its usage peaked in 2016, and has since been declining. The name is rare, with fewer than 100 births per year nationally, and appears most often in communities with Nigerian heritage. While not in any state's top lists, it carries deep cultural significance and remains a meaningful choice for families honoring Yoruba traditions.

Ebunoluwa is a Yoruba name commonly given to girls, meaning 'God's gift' or 'gift of God.' It is formed from the elements 'ebun' (gift) and 'Oluwa' (God). The name is widely used among Yoruba-speaking communities in Nigeria and across the African diaspora. Variants like Ebun and Oluwa are often used as independent names or nicknames.
