<p><strong>A Yorùbá name carries meaning, tone, and lineage. This is the book that gives you all three.</strong></p><p>A directory of Yorùbá names with their meanings, their pronunciation marked, and the Òrìṣà and Odù each one belongs to. Beyond the listing, this expanded edition includes a constructor: the roots, prefixes, and grammatical rules that let a name be built correctly rather than guessed at.</p><p>Written for parents choosing a name, initiates receiving an Ifá name, and readers reclaiming a name the Middle Passage took. Tone marks are given throughout, because a Yorùbá name pronounced without them is a different word.</p><p>Expanded edition. Part of the Nubala Ifá Library.</p>
