Meaning & origin

Titilayo is a Yoruba name meaning 'eternal happiness,' first recorded in the United States in 1975. It peaked in 1977 with 5 births and has remained consistently rare, with no recorded usage in some recent years. The name is not associated with any top states due to its infrequency. Despite its low rank, Titilayo carries deep cultural significance and a poetic meaning that resonates with families seeking a distinctive name with roots in West African heritage.

Titilayo is a Yoruba name from Nigeria, composed of 'titi' (forever, eternal) and 'ayo' (joy, happiness). It is traditionally given to girls and reflects the cultural value placed on enduring happiness. The name has been used in the Yoruba-speaking region for generations, though it gained modest visibility in the United States starting in the 1970s.
