Meaning & origin
Oluwadarasimi entered U.S. birth records in 2008, a relatively recent arrival. Its popularity was highest in 2016 when the name reached its peak rank as the 8,362nd most common name that year. Since 2017, however, its usage has been declining slightly, with 1 in 133,939 newborns receiving the name in the latest reported year of 2025. A meaningful Yoruba name, its roots in a rich West African tradition reflect the steady growth of culturally specific naming in the United States.
Oluwadarasimi is a Yoruba name from Nigeria, combining 'Oluwa' (God/Lord), 'dara' (good/well), and 'simi' (rest with me), often interpreted as 'The Lord is with me' or 'God is good to me.' It is commonly used among Yoruba-speaking Christians and has gained popularity in the diaspora since the early 2000s.
